TOSU vs Minnesota Tonight
#1
One prospect that scouts are intrigued to watch tonight is Minnesota OT Daniel Faalele (6082, 370).

Opted out of the 2020 season and is now down under 375 pounds. He’ll receive a solid test tonight against the edge rushers from Ohio State (8:00 p.m. ET, FOX).

31 scouts in attendance tonight from 24 teams, including the Vikings.

Gophers RB Mohamed Ibrahim will miss rest of season
Gophers running back Mohamed Ibrahim will miss the remainder of the season because of a lower left leg injury suffered in Thursday's season opener against Ohio State, coach P.J. Fleck announced Monday. Ibrahim will undergo surgery on Tuesday.
"There is no replacing Mohamed Ibrahim'' Fleck said. "He's a special, special player.''
Ibrahim, the reigning Big Ten running back of the year and a player Fleck considered the best running back in the country, was injured in the closing seconds of the third quarter on his 30th carry of the game. He went down after making a cut and pushing off with his left leg. Ibrahim tried to limp off the field but fell to the ground and was tended to by the team's athletic training staff. He went to the sideline and was checked in a tent before leaving for the locker room with a protective boot on his left foot.
Ibrahim had rushed for 163 yards and touchdowns of 1 and 19 yards against Ohio State, giving him a total of 3,003 rushing yards and 33 rushing TDs. The yardage ranks eight in program history and the TD total is tied for third. Last year, he averaged 153.7 rushing yards per game, which ranked second nationally, and earned third-team All-America honors from the Associated Press.
A redshirt senior from Baltimore, Ibrahim will have a year of eligibility remaining in 2022 if he chooses to use it and could apply for a medical hardship waiver to gain another year. The NCAA did not charge players a year of eligibility in the COVID-19-impacted 2020 season.
With Ibrahim out, the Gophers will turn to the depth behind him to fill in. Trey Potts rushed 10 times for 34 yards and caught one pass for 12 yards Thursday, giving him 210 career rushing yards, while fellow redshirt sophomore Cam Wiley carried three times for 4 yards vs. Ohio State and has 215 career yards. Bryce Williams, a redshirt junior, rushed once for a 2-yard touchdown Thursday and 541 career yards, including a 33-carry, 141-yard effort against Miami (Ohio) as a true freshman making his first start in 2018. Also in the mix could be redshirt freshman Ky Thomas and true freshman Mar'Keise "Bucky'' Irving.
"Trey Potts is a tremendous tailback, and you got a chance to see that, too,'' Fleck said after Thursday's game. "Bryce Williams has played a ton of football here. Cam Wiley has played a ton of football. … We have a deep backfield, maybe a little inexperienced. One way to get experienced is to go out and play. This is a team, and the next guy's got to go in. I've got a lot of confidence in those guys.''

Ibrahim should declare for the draft after this year before Fleck can finish running him into the ground.  30 carries in 3 quarters WTF?
