The Gophers have now lost their two leading rushers from last season. Ky Thomas transferred to Kansas earlier this year.
This has the potential to be a bit of a disaster for Minnesota. Mohamed Ibrahim is returning next season, but there is no guarantee he'll be 100% after recovering from a torn Achilles tendon.
