Back rushed for 1,076 yards and 15 touchdowns in seven games last season
Minnesota running back Mohamed Ibrahim was named to the 2021 Big Ten Football Preseason Honors list today.
The annual list features 10 players – five from each division – and is voted on by members of the media. Ibrahim is the only running back on the list.
Ibrahim has already been named a preseason All-American by Athlon Sports, Phil Steele Publications and the Walter Camp Foundation. He was also on the Doak Walker Award watch list and the Maxwell Award preseason watch list.
Last season, Ibrahim was named Big Ten Running Back of the Year, All-Big Ten First Team and AP Third-Team All-America after rushing 201 times (25th most in school single-season history) for 1,076 yards (23rd most in school single season-history) and 15 touchdowns (most ever for a junior at Minnesota and ranks fourth in school-single season history).
He led the Big Ten in the following categories: rushing attempts (201), rushing yards (1,076), rushing yards per game (153.7), rushing touchdowns (15), scoring (90), points per game (12.9) and all-purpose yards per game (168.4). Ibrahim also set a school record with a rushing average of 153.7 yards per game and tied a school record with four rushing touchdowns in a one game (did so at Maryland and at Illinois).
Ibrahim ranks ninth on Minnesota's career rushing list with 2,840 yards despite playing in only 28 games. He ranks tied for sixth in school history with 31 rushing touchdowns and his 5.49 yards per carry average ranks eighth all-time in school history (minimum 200 carries) while his 517 carries ranks 12th. He ranks tied for first in school history with three career 200-yard rushing games and ranks first in school history with eight straight 100-yard rushing games (1/1/20 - 12/19/20).
