Two Gophers included, Mo Ibrahim and John Michael Schmitz.

28. Mohamed Ibrahim

RB, Minnesota, Senior
Notable 2020 stats:1,078 yards, 15 TDs
Last year's ranking: 55


Minnesota lost running backs Ky Thomas and Mar'Keise Irving this offseason, so Ibrahim is going to be counted on even more than he already was. His season was cut short in 2021 when he injured his achilles in the season opener. Ibrahim is motivated to come back this season and once again lead the team in rush yards the way he did in 2020.

73. John Michael Schmitz

C, Minnesota, Senior
Notable 2021 stat: 1 pressure allowed in 289 pass-block snaps
Last year's ranking: NR


Schmitz started all 13 games at center for Minnesota last season. Schmitz and the rest of the Golden Gophers' offensive line helped allow the team to average 25.5 points per game. Schmitz is on both the preseason watch lists for the Lombardi Award and Rimington Award.
 

Interesting that Mo has a higher ranking than last year despite coming back from the Achilles injury. Still great to see recognition for both of these guys. Well deserved.
 



28th! Wow. That's some really high praise.
