Chris Autman-Bell to return to Minnesota for 2023

Minnesota Golden Gophers wide receiver Chris Autman-Bell announced Thursday night that he will be returning for a seventh season in 2023, pending approval of a medical redshirt. He announced his plans — and confirmed he tore his ACL in September — at a charity event at Stubs & Herbs in support of the $5 Bits of Broken Chair Trophy Chair-ity, which raises funds annually for the Team Jack Foundation and the M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital.

In a podcast interview with Mike Grimm posted on Tuesday, Autman-Bell said, “I will probably end up coming back,” in 2023.
