As we inch closer to the start of the college football season, we're going to look at the top sleeper at every offensive position for the Gophers this fall. These are players who didn't get much love this spring, but they could wind up exceeding expectations in 2026.Quarterback — Owen LansuThe Gophers found their QB1 last season with Drake Lindsey, and it appears that former walk-on Max Shikenjanski will remain his backup in 2026. One signal caller who could push Shikenjanski for the QB2 role is Lansu. The true freshman had a great spring game with 110 yards and one touchdown on 5 of 7 passing. It might not be in 2026, but Lansu looks like a player who could make an impact at the college level.True freshman QB Owen Lansu is putting together an MVP case for today’s Spring game.5/7, 110 yards, 1 TDReally impressive stuff. pic.twitter.com/7bJVnoV8qn— Tony Liebert (@TonyLiebert) April 25, 2026Running back — A.J. TurnerTurner did not see the field for the Gophers this spring, as he continues to recover from last year's season-ending injury. There is plenty of young talent in the running back room, but the former Marshall transfer could be the perfect post-hype sleeper. He led the country with 8.3 yards per carry in 2024, and he was a true offensive weapon. If he's even 75% of the player post-injury, he could be a difference maker this fall.Sept. 21, 2024; Columbus, Ohio, USA;
