per Jake:

Minnesota saw a fearsome foursome stay in the Twin Cities for 2022. Quarterback Tanner Morgan, running back Mohamed Ibrahim, wide receiver Chris Autman-Bell and offensive lineman John Michael Schmitz all enter their sixth collegiate seasons for the Gophers.

Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck rattled off a nickname for the quartet of super-seniors: the “Encore Four."
Morgan leads the Gophers offense with 8,072 passing yards and 56 touchdown passes to his name from 2018-21. Autman-Bell emerged as one of Morgan’s targets, catching 36 passes for 506 yards and six touchdowns in 2021 (114 career receptions for 1,756 yards and 12 touchdowns in the last four seasons).

Schmitz, a second-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches in 2021, recently claimed Outland Trophy and Rimington Trophy watch list honors for the upcoming season.


Go Gophers!!
