ESPN: College football's breakout players for each Top 25 team in 2020 (MN: RB Mohamed Ibrahim)

[BleedGopher]

per ESPN:

19. Minnesota Golden Gophers: RB Mohamed Ibrahim
Ibrahim has already been a significant part of the Gophers' offense the past two seasons -- he led the team in rushing in 2018 (1,160 yards) and was second this season with 604 yards -- but with seniors Rodney Smith and Shannon Brooks moving on, the stage is set for Ibrahim to have an even bigger role in 2020. In the Golden Gophers' 31-24 win over Auburn in the Outback Bowl, Ibrahim ran for a season-high 140 yards and a touchdown. He will be an important weapon for new offensive coordinator Mike Sanford. -- Bonagura

These are the players, led by No. 1 Clemson's WR Joe Ngata, who are expected to make big leaps next season.

Pretty sure Ibrahim “broke out” in the 2018 season. Who is his other break out player? Morgan? Bateman?

That's a really safe prediction. He just didn't have as much opportunity this past season with Smith and Brooks around. I thought there were many times that he looked like their best back.

That's a really safe prediction. He just didn't have as much opportunity this past season with Smith and Brooks around. I thought there were many times that he looked like their best back.

It is a safe prediction on the part of ESPN but when you think about it, most outside of Minnesota (and maybe now Auburn) won't totally remember Mo because he took a back seat in 2019. So when he has a monster year next year it will be seen as a breakout.

Really excited to see what he can do in the feature spot again. Smith was a really nice running back for us but there is something about Mo that makes me think he has the potential to be a superstar if he can stay healthy. He reminds me a lot of MB3 when he was here. Maybe doesn't have the top end speed but super physical and hard to bring down.

A bigger question to me is who will be the No. 2 and No. 3 backs that will show up.
