Max Brosmer (pronounced Brohz-mur) has Gopher Nation on fire with excitement as he's likely going to be the starting quarterback at the University of Minnesota in 2024. 

The transfer from the University of New Hampshire announced Sunday his commitment to the Gophers after leading the FCS with 3,449 pass yards to go along with 29 touchdowns passes and only six interceptions this season. He also rushed for five touchdowns. 

The gaudy stats are impressive and should excite Minnesota fans thirsty for a strong passing game after watching the 2023 Gophers average 153 passing yards per game, ranking 123rd of 130 teams in the country. 

Beyond the numbers, Brosmer got his undergraduate degree in biomedical science and he's pursuing a graduate degree in kinesiology. His head coach at New Hampshire, Rick Santos, raves about his leadership skills.

"I think he's got that mental makeup. He' a tremendous leader. He's a man of high character. He believes in himself," Santos said before the 2023 season started. "He has a chance to be one of the best football players in the country this year."

Santos' prediction came true, with Brosmer ranking 7th overall among quarterbacks entering the transfer portal, according to 247Sports. Respectively, On3 ranked him ninth among transfer QBs. 

Brosmer, who grew up as a diehard Ohio State football fan, started as a true freshman at New Hampshire and was set for big things as a sophomore in 2021 (after COVID wiped out the 2020 season) when he tore his ACL a week before the season started. He returned and put up big numbers in 2022 and this season he lit up the Colonial Athletic Conference as a junior. 

"Every single day, everything I do is about getting better and getting better for my team," Brosmer said in an October interview with quarterback trainer Quincy Avery. "It's become a bit of a crazed passion I think, and not in a bad way. I just love being there fro the team and love being there to win games. I love being the guy they put the weight on the shoulders for to make sure the team succeeds."

Avery, by the way, has trained high-end quarterbacks like Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles, Deshaun Watson of the Cleveland Browns and the late Dwayne Haskins, who starred at Ohio State.
