Here is the post from the player's Twitter page confirming the news:

According to 247 Sports, Philo chose the Gophers over the likes of Arkansas State, Coastal Carolina, and others.

At 6'2 and 200 pounds, Philo could be the QB of the future for P.J. Fleck and the Minnesota Golden Gophers, but we'll have to wait until 2024 at the earliest to find out.
