Kristen Hoskins is a 6’0″, 190-pound wide receiver who joined the Gophers football
team in 2022. He quickly became known for his athleticism and impressive playmaking ability. A standout high
school player from Georgia, Hoskins caught the attention of several major college programs before committing to
Minnesota. His combination of speed, route-running precision, and ball-catching ability made him an intriguing
prospect for the Gophers, who were looking to strengthen their receiving corps.
During his first two years at Minnesota, Hoskins showed flashes of potential, contributing in several games as a reliable target for the Gophers’ offense.
However, despite his talent, he struggled to consistently earn playing time in a crowded receiver room, where veterans and highly-touted recruits often took
precedence. This led many to wonder whether Hoskins could ever find his stride and make a significant impact on the team.
