Another former Gopher is heading back to Minnesota.

The Minnesota Vikings have signed former University of Minnesota kick returner Troy Stoudermire and former Illinois State defensive back Tre Roberson.

A defensive back for the Gophers from 2008-12, Stoudermire is the NCAA's all-time leader in kickoff return yards, and is listed as a wide receiver by the Vikings.

Stoudermire has spent the past three seasons in the Canadian Football League.

Roberson played quarterback at Indiana and Illinois State, but is listed as a cornerback by the Vikings.
