  Minnesota is set to feature three former Western Michigan football players on its roster this fall, following Friday's decision from running back Sean Tyler to flip his commitment from Oklahoma State to the P.J. Fleck-led Golden Gophers. Tyler committed to the Cowboys via social media on Dec. 12, then announced a change in plans a month later, stating he intends to finish his college football career at Minnesota.

"I would like to thank Oklahoma State University and the coaches for giving me an opportunity to further my career," Tyler wrote in a Twitter post. "After some deep thinking and talking with my family, I will not be attending OSU. With that being said I'll be finishing my collegiate career at the University of Minnesota. Forever grateful for the opportunity!" Tyler will join former teammates and fellow WMU starters Ryan Selig (linebacker) and Corey Crooms (receiver) on Minnesota's 2023 roster. - Kalamazoo Gazette

  Mohamed Ibrahim rushed for 71 yards on 16 carriers with a touchdown and became Minnesota's all-time rushing leader in the Golden Gophers' 28-20 win over Syracuse in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium on Thursday. Ibrahim, who missed virtually all of last year with a ruptured Achilles, closed out a solid career in dramatic fashion. After getting injured in the 2021 season opener against Penn State, Ibrahim returned for a sixth season and finished his career with 4,668 yards and 53 rushing touchdowns in 40 games since joining the Golden Gophers as a two-star recruit from Baltimore. Ibrahim broke the school record held by Darrell Thompson (4,654 yards from 1986-89) on a 10-yard gain with about 2 1/2 minutes left in the first half. Before breaking the record, Ibrahim scored a gritty 4-yard run with 13:39 remaining in the half before sitting out the final periods. The TD gave him 20 and moved him past Gary Russell (19 in 2005) for the most single-season TDs in school history.

Trey Potts replaced Ibrahim in the backfield and had 27 yards on 10 carries. Daniel Jackson hauled in a pair of TD passes - a 20-yard reception in the second and a 25-yard grab in the final minute of the third. Athan Kaliakmanis started at QB for Minnesota (9-4) and completed 7 of 9 passes for 80 yards before being helped off the field with an injury. Tanner Morgan made his first appearance since Nov. 5 and completed 4 of 7 passes for 58 yards. Syracuse (7-6) ended what was a promising season on a down note, playing without star running back Sean Tucker, who declared for the NFL draft on Dec. 17. Syracuse's offense totaled 477 yards, but struggled at times as the Orange lost six of their final seven games after a 6-0 start elevated them to No. 14 in The Associated Press Top 25 Poll. LeQuint Allen replaced Tucker and finished with 103 yards on 16 carries. Garret Shrader faced constant pressure and completed 32 of 51 passes for 329 yards. He ran for both of Syracuse's TDs, and also overthrew receivers at times. - Minnesota/AP College Football

  Gophers tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford had played it coy since the Nov. 26 regular-season finale against Wisconsin, shedding little light on whether he planned to return to Minnesota for the 2023 season or make himself available this spring for the NFL draft. On Tuesday, Spann-Ford made his announcement via highlight video on Twitter that ended: "I'll be back." The St. Cloud native and honorable mention All-Big Ten selection will return for his sixth season after leading Minnesota with 40 receptions and ranking second on the team with 481 receiving yards and two touchdown catches. The 6-7, 270-pounder has come on strong the past two seasons, grabbing 23 passes for 296 yards and a TD in 2021. - Minneapolis Star Tribune

When asked if the announcement would come before or after the Pinstripe Bowl, Spann-Ford said before but did not offer specifics. - Minneapolis Star Tribune
