Per Tony:
Major came to Minnesota with 833 rushing yards and 10 total touchdowns in his five-year career in Norman. Stuck behind players like Rhamondre Stevenson, Trey Sermon and Kennedy Brooks on the depth chart, he was never able to get a major role in the offense. He has just 194 carries in 35 career games.
It seems he was a diamond in the rough with the Sooners as Fleck and his staff continue to have great things to say about the Oklahoma City native. Major is wearing No. 24 this season and there are already comparisons to the last great Gophers' running back to wear No. 24, Mohamed Ibrahim.
"Every time I see that number 24 I just think, man, [he] looks like 24, just a bigger version of the old 24, Mohamed," Fleck said Monday.

P.J. Fleck compares Marcus Major to 'bigger version' of Mohamed Ibrahim
It seems like Minnesota has found its RB2.
Go Gophers!!
