The Gophers football team received another pair of commitments to its 2025 class on Sunday.

Bradley Martino, a four-star athlete from Naples, Fla., and Nick Spense, a three-star offensive tackle from Peoria, Ariz., both announced their commitments to the U on social media Sunday morning.

This comes following the Gophers hosting several high school recruits Saturday for a "Summer Splash" weekend, the first of two consecutive recruiting event weekends at the U.

Martino's commitment comes following the visit to the U Saturday. Martino at 6-foot-3, 175 pounds is a two-way player at Golden Gate High School, seeing snaps at receiver and defensive back. He's a four-star recruit, per 247Sports' composite, and the No. 56-ranked recruit in Florida's 2025 class.

"I'd really like to give a special thanks Coach Fleck and the entire Minnesota coaching staff for making me feel welcomed. All the support and guidance you have provided me throughout my recruitment process has been phenomenal," Martino said in a social media post. With that being said, after an awesome weekend I am committing to the University of Minnesota! ROW THE BOAT!"
