Tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford announced Tuesday that he will be returning to Minnesota next year to use his final season of eligibility with the Golden Gophers.
He made the announcement with a video released on Twitter:
This season, Spann-Ford led the team in receptions (40) and recorded career highs in receiving yards (481) and receiving touchdowns (2). He was only named All-Big Ten Honorable Mention, but according to Pro Football Focus — who named him to their first-team All-Big Ten — he ranks first among all Big Ten tight ends in run blocking and second in receiving.
