01/25/21 - *Benjamin St-Juste, rJr/2021, Minnesota, 6-3, 202 (DS#22 CB) + More +

Cornerback Benjamin St-Juste accepted an invitation Friday to play in the Senior Bowl on Jan. 30 in Mobile, Ala. St-Juste, who turned pro Dec. 20 after the Wisconsin loss, had one year of eligibility remaining at Minnesota. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Canadian's inclusion is more important this year, with the NFL's scouting combine not having in-person workouts this spring due to COVID-19. The lack of a combine will put more emphasis for aspiring pros - including junior receiver Rashod Bateman - to show out during pro days on college campus this spring. St-Juste is the 43rd Gopher to be invited to the combine, following Carter Coughlin and Kamal Martin last year. - Pioneer Press

12/29/20 - Mohamed Ibrahim, rSr/2023, Minnesota, 5-08, 203 (DS#22 RB) + More +

Gophers running back Mo Ibrahim's social-media message Monday followed his consistent theme: Put others first. The reigning Big Ten running back of the year said every yard gained and honor received wouldn't be possible without his teammates, coaches and staff at the U. Then he put his own rising NFL draft stock on the back burner. "I am looking forward to coming back and making more memories in 2021 - which also includes getting my degree," Ibrahim wrote. Next season will be Ibrahim's fifth at Minnesota; last year was his best yet. In 2020, Ibrahim rushed for 153 yards per game, which ranked third in the nation and set a school record. He had 201 carries for 1,076 yards and 15 rushing touchdowns in only seven games. - Pioneer Press

The Gophers had their first announced player departure come within moments of the program opting out of a 2020 bowl game. Cornerback Benjamin St-Juste declared for the NFL Draft on Sunday morning, but fellow corner Coney Durr made a surprise decision to return for the 2021 college season. This means Minnesota will only lose one of its two starting cornerbacks going into next season. "Thank you Minnesota," St-Juste wrote in a message on Twitter.

"I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to represent The University of Minnesota," "Thank you Coach (P.J.) Fleck for giving me a chance to reach my dreams on and off the field. "Thank you to every single coach and staff member that pushed me to become a better player and man. Huge Thank you to the state of Minnesota and Gopher fans for the incredible memories. Last but not least, thank you to my teammates that I now call brothers for life!" At 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, St-Juste had 14 tackles and three pass breakups in five games this season. He missed two with a case of COVID-19. The Montreal native, who transferred from Michigan, was all-Big Ten honorable mention for Minnesota in 2019 with 45 tackles and a tied for a team high with 10 pass breakups. - Pioneer Press

Rashod Bateman opted out for the second time a couple weeks ago, making two Gophers declared for the upcoming draft. And there might be more to come. Gophers coach P.J. Fleck has said he expects "most" of the seniors to return with their extra year of eligibility from the pandemic. Cornerback Phil Howard and receiver Clay Geary are two that have stated their intention to return. There are 17 seniors in total this season. "While the NFL is my ultimate goal, I'm not ready to leave Minnesota just yet," Durr wrote on social media. "We have unfinished business." The redshirt senior has been an All-Big Ten honorable mention two years running. This season, he made 29 tackles, five pass-breakups and an interception in the end zone at Wisconsin. - Minneapolis Star Tribune
