per ESPN:
15. Rashod Bateman
WR, Minnesota
Junior
Last year's ranking: NR
Status: Opted out/fall season postponed
Bateman was Minnesota's second-leading receiver last season with 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was a big play waiting to happen for the Gophers, but he decided to declare for the NFL draft and forgo his remaining eligibility. ESPN's Todd McShay has Bateman as the second-best receiver in this draft class and believes he will be an immediate impact player once he gets to the NFL.
29. Tanner Morgan
QB, Minnesota
Junior
Last year's ranking: NR
Status: Fall season postponed
Morgan threw for 3,253 yards and 30 touchdowns last season and was a big part of Minnesota's success on offense. If a spring season happens, he won't have leading receivers Tyler Johnson or Rashod Bateman this season, as both are off to the NFL. And Morgan won't have coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca, who was hired at Penn State. Morgan has the experience and the talent, though, and is still one of the top quarterbacks in the conference.

Ranking the top 50 players in college football
No, the Big Ten and Pac-12 are not playing college football this fall. (We think.) Yes, their players -- plus those who opted out -- are included here. Why? To give a full sense of what we're missing this season. Let the debates begin.
Go Gophers!!
