6. MOHAMED IBRAHIM, MINNESOTA

Mohamed Ibrahim needs a re-introduction nationally with the Golden Gophers after suffering a season-ending injury in September last fall. He has two 1,000-yard seasons to his credit, and rushed for 163 yards and two scores during last season's near upset of Ohio State in the opener. He is the front-runner to win the Big Ten's comeback player of the year and could push Minnesota to division title potential with another terrific season behind a veteran front.
