Per Marcus:
Le’Meke Brockington’s Gophers career had early promise two years ago, when he ended his freshman season in spectacular fashion with a game-winning touchdown against Wisconsin.
A potential breakout sophomore year for Brockington seemed to be coming until he suffered a leg fracture after the fifth game against Louisiana last season.
Brockington surprised himself, returning to contribute on special teams in the regular-season finale against Wisconsin and the bowl game.
“It’s not usual for guys to come back from a broken leg after two months of recovery,” he said.
The Georgia native might again become the big-play threat he was before the injury. His return to the starting role, though, likely has more to do with being the team’s top blocking receiver.
“I take pride in my run blocking,” Brockington said. “I’m doing whatever the team needs me do to. If I got to block, I got to block in order for us to win.”

Gophers receiver Le’Meke Brockington can make the explosive plays — and block, too
Le’Meke Brockington’s blocking ability is a big reason he’s expected to be a starter at wide receiver for the Gophers this season.
