per John:
Morgan was stellar in 2019, throwing for over 3000 yards and 30 TDs with only seven INTs, but he took a step back last year, with his completion percentage dropping as well as TD to INT ratio plummeting from over four to just 1.4. In a much more normal year, and with a year under his belt with a new offensive coordinator, the senior QB is going to look much more like his 2019 self, and will be a massive problem for any opposing secondary.
RB Mohammed Ibrahim
With all of Tanner Morgan’s struggles last season, Ibrahim was pretty much the entire Golden Gopher offense. He had 201 rushes for 1076 yards and 15 TDs, and considering the rest of the offense had 11 TDs combined, that’s even more impressive than normal. Ibrahim will be running behind an extremely talented offensive line, and with a better passing game opening up the rushing game, it’s possible that he could be pushing for 2000 yards and All-American honors.
DE Boye Mafe
One of the few bright spots on a poor Minnesota defense last year, Mafe is one of the best defensive ends in the conference, and will be a nightmare for whoever is unlucky enough to have to block him. In just six games last year, Mafe, a senior, recorded 27 tackles, 5.5 of which were tackles for loss, as well as 4.5 sacks. There’s a chance he could hit double digits in the sack column in a full year, especially if he can become more consistent.
