Choctaw (Okla.) three-star offensive lineman Cade McConnell has flipped his commitment to Minnesota.

McConnell was previously committed to TCU before decommitting three weeks ago. Fort Worth (Texas) Everman three-star offensive lineman Seth Martin also decommitted from the Horned Frogs that day.

McConnell is the No. 639 prospect in the country, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average.
