University of Minnesota running back Mohamed Ibrahim was named the Big Ten’s Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year today.
Ibrahim is the first Gopher ever to receive this honor and he is the third Minnesota student-athlete to be named a conference Player of the Year in the last two seasons. In 2019, Rashod Bateman was named the Big Ten Receiver of the Year, while Antoine Winfield was named the Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year.
Ibrhaim was also named All-Big Ten First Team by both the coaches and the media. He was the media’s lone unanimous player to be named All-Big Ten First Team.
Ibrahim is one of 10 semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award, which is presented to the top running back in the country, and is the lone Big Ten back on the list.
Despite playing in only six games, Ibrahim leads the Big Ten in rushing attempts (175), rushing yards (925), rushing touchdowns (15), average rushing yards per game (154.2), all-purpose yards (1,028), scoring (90 points) and points per game (15.0).
He has rushed for at least 100 yards in all six games this year and his current streak of seven straight games with at least 100 yards rushing is tied with Laurence Maroney for the most in school history.
