All indications are former Cretin-Derham Hall star and Wisconsin safety Kim Royston will commit to the Gophers football team later this afternoon after meeting with coach Tim Brewster.

Royston has been accepted to Minnesota and could start classes next month.

Royston will have to sit out the 2008 season and cannot receive a scholarship the rest of his career according to Big Ten transfer rules. Royston decided to leave Wisconsin earlier this spring.

Royston had scholarship offers from several schools but his first choice was to return home and play for the Gophers.

Royston will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
