John Legend's Three-Star WR Nephew Commits to Minnesota

Legend's nephew, Michael Brown-Stephens, is a three-star WR headed to Minnesota.

Singer John Legend might be an Ohio State fan, but he's about to watch a lot more Minnesota games.

The singer's nephew, wide receiver Michael Brown-Stephens, signed his national letter of intent Wednesday to play for Minnesota next year. The three-star recruit played at Springfield High School in Ohio and also received offers from Ball State, Bowling Green, Eastern Kentucky and Kent State.

Legend retweeted Minnesota's announcement that Brown-Stephens committed to the Golden Gophers and joked that it will create a "dilemma" for him during future Ohio State-Minnesota games.

Legend also tweeted that Brown-Stephens broke his Grammy Award in 2010. It sounds like his nephew handles footballs better than Grammys.
