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

Gophers tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford, whose 40 receptions lead the team, hasn't revealed yet whether he'll return for his senior season of eligibility in 2023 or make himself available for the NFL draft this spring. On Thursday, he did put a timetable on the decision. "I'll be announcing it next week,'' said the fifth-year senior. 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

Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck had his contract extended Wednesday by an additional year with a $1 million raise in annual salary, after the latest round of big spending by Big Ten rivals. The new seven-year deal will run through the 2029 season, the university announced without releasing terms. Fleck will now make $6 million per year, a person with knowledge of the contract confirmed. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal had not yet been finalized. Last week, Nebraska hired Matt Rhule and Wisconsin hired Luke Fickell to put them in the top tier of head coach compensation in the conference.

In terms of average annual value, the 42-year-old Fleck is eighth in the Big Ten behind Michigan State's Mel Tucker, Ohio State's Ryan Day, Rhule, Fickell, Penn State's James Franklin, Michigan's Jim Harbaugh and Iowa's Kirk Ferentz. All seven of those coaches make $7 million or more per season. The Gophers (8-4) play Syracuse in the Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 29. They're 3-0 in bowl games under Fleck, who was hired away from Western Michigan in 2017. Minnesota tied for second place in the Big Ten West Division this year, behind Purdue. Fleck is 43-27 overall with the Gophers, including 26-26 in conference play. They're 0-6 against Iowa and 3-3 against Wisconsin, their primary rivals. - AP College Football

Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said several times this season that, like a certain national hotel chain, "he'd leave a light on" for Tyler Nubin in regard to the standout safety's decision about leaving for the NFL draft or returning to play next season. On Friday, Nubin took Fleck up on his offer. "I'm not done yet," Nubin said in a video posted Friday afternoon on Twitter, announcing that he'll return to the team next fall. "I'm blessed to have the opportunity to finish out my degree and play one more season for my brothers, this team and the best fans in college football. Minnesota, I've come home." A second-team All-Big Ten selection this fall, Nubin will use the extra year of eligibility that the NCAA granted to players who participated in the 2020 season that was marred by COVID-19.

The rangy, 6-2, 210-pounder led the Gophers and tied for third in the Big Ten with four interceptions, and his 55 tackles ranked second on the team. He played in 11 games this season, missing the regular-season finale against Wisconsin with his right hand in a cast because of an injury suffered the previous week against Iowa. "It's hard when you lose your best player on defense, respectively. That was really hard for Tyler. It's a tough decision to make, but it's a family decision," Fleck said Saturday on Nubin's decision to have the injury addressed earlier rather than later. "...Rodney and Sherese [Nubin, Tyler's parents] made that decision, and I back them up 100 percent." - Minneapolis Star Tribune
