Corey Crooms is the latest in a list of talented wideouts to come through Kalamazoo, and the 5-foot-11, 185-pound junior could join the likes of Greg Jennings, Jordan White, Daniel Braverman, Corey Davis, D'Wayne Eskridge and Skyy Moore as Bronco receivers to hear their names called in the NFL draft. Lester praised Crooms for improving his speed last offseason, and that paid off in the form of 768 receiving yards at 17.5 per catch with six touchdowns, including a 74-yarder in the bowl game win. The big question regarding Crooms this season is whether another receiver or tight end will be able to stop defenses from bracketing him with double coverage. There are some promising young pass catchers in the receiver room, including sophomore Anthony Sambucci (6-foot, 190 pounds), redshirt freshman Henry Wilson (6-foot, 175), redshirt freshman Kaevion Mack (6-2, 205), but none of those guys have caught a ball for the Broncos. - Kalamazoo Gazette

08/03/22 - Tanner Morgan, rSr/2023, Minnesota, 6-0, 204 (DS#21 QB) + More +

Minnesota quarterback Tanner Morgan (6-2, 215) is the key cog in the Gophers' "Encore Four" expected to lead the team in 2022. The quartet of sixth-year seniors on offense who stuck around for one more kick at the collegiate can includes Morgan, running back Mohamed Ibrahim, center John Michael Schmitz and wide receiver Chris Autman-Bell have been in the program since 2017. Morgan, of course, is the key to the offense. Entering his fifth year as starter, he will try to rebound from a season in which the passing game sputtered in losses to Bowling Green and Illinois. Helping in that task will be Kirk Ciarrocca, who is back as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after two years away. Under Ciarrocca, Morgan passed for single-season school records of 3,253 yards and 30 touchdowns in 2019, stats bolstered by the presence of future NFL receivers Tyler Johnson and Rashod Bateman. - Minneapolis Star Tribune

07/29/22 - Mohamed Ibrahim, rSr/2023, Minnesota, 5-08, 203 (DS#22 RB) + More +

Minnesota saw a fearsome foursome stay in the Twin Cities for 2022. Quarterback Tanner Morgan, running back Mohamed Ibrahim, wide receiver Chris Autman-Bell and offensive lineman John Michael Schmitz all enter their sixth collegiate seasons for the Gophers. Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck rattled off a nickname for the quartet of super-seniors: the "Encore Four." Morgan leads the Gophers offense with 8,072 passing yards and 56 touchdown passes to his name from 2018-21. Autman-Bell emerged as one of Morgan's targets, catching 36 passes for 506 yards and six touchdowns in 2021 (114 career receptions for 1,756 yards and 12 touchdowns in the last four seasons). Schmitz, a second-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches in 2021, recently claimed Outland Trophy and Rimington Trophy watch list honors for the upcoming season.

Ibrahim comes back to Minnesota with two 1,000-yard rushing seasons already on his résumé, along with being named a first-team All-Big Ten selection and the Ameche-Dayne Big Ten running back of the year in 2020. His 2021 season started hot, scorching Ohio State for 163 yards on 30 carries with two touchdowns in the opener before a torn Achilles cost him the rest of the year. "Decided to come back, not only for himself, but for his teammates, and I think that kind of spread through our entire team," Fleck said. "John Michael Schmitz's coming back, Tanner Morgan coming back, 'Crab' coming back, Chris Autman-Bell. They made choices based on really what Mo was going to do. "Mo could have gone to the National Football League because as he would say, 5'8" is 5'8". He's not getting any taller. But he did it for the team, and he did it to kind of put a different ending to what happened." - Wisconsin State Journal

Mo Ibrahim and Trey Potts weren't cloaked in bubble wrap during spring practices in March, but the affect was the same as the Gophers' top running back duo watched as teammates went through contact drills and scrimmages. That will change on Monday. After serious injuries ended their 2021 seasons by early October, Ibrahim and Potts have been cleared for full contact and will have a month to prepare for the season opener against Jerry Kill-coached New Mexico State on Sept. 1 at Huntington Bank Stadium.

Ibrahim ruptured his Achilles tendon in the season opener against Ohio State, then Potts suffered an undisclosed injury in the win over Purdue a month later. Potts' ailment was severe enough to cause a six-night hospital stay in Indiana. At Big Ten Media Days on Tuesday, head coach P.J. Fleck said Ibrahim was "full strength" and "ready to roll." Fleck said the program will try to be smart with Ibrahim during preseason camp, giving him the scrimmage-type hits he needs to reacquaint himself with the physical rushing style that has brought the 2020 Big Ten running back of the year so much success. "So, when he gets to the game, that last step (live contact) isn't a worry," Fleck said. - Star Tribune
