Minnesota Looks to Stretch Big Ten-Record Bowl Winning Streak Against New Mexico
Sam Henson - Inactive for Rate Bowl Henson (undisclosed) is out for Friday's matchup against New Mexico in the Rate Bowl.
Impact Henson has been battling with an undisclosed injury for most of this season, and he didn't end up appearing in the game as he was the backup kicker even when healthy. As a redshirt senior this season, he's likely used up all of his collegiate eligibility, unless he attempts to use a medical redshirt and return for another year.
DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Wittke - Out for Rate Bowl Wittke (undisclosed) is out for Friday's game against New Mexico in the Rate Bowl.
Impact Wittke has been the backup quarterback all season for the Golden Gophers, but he will not be active for the Rate Bowl. With the redshirt sophomore out and teammate Emmett Morehead (undisclosed) also sidelined, Max Shikenjanski will be the likely QB2 versus the Lobos.
DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Emmett Morehead - Not active Friday Morehead (undisclosed) is out for Friday's game against New Mexico.
Impact Morehead will not be active for the Golden Gophers' appearance in the Rate Bowl. The redshirt senior quarterback was buried in the depth chart this year, and he did not appear in a game all season. He's now run out of collegiate eligibility.
DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Le'Meke Brockington - Not playing in bowl game Brockington (undisclosed) is out for Minnesota's game against New Mexico in the Rate Bowl.
Impact Brockington will sit out for the Golden Gophers' bowl game after a career-high redshirt senior season. The 6-foot wideout brought in 46 receptions for 484 yards and four touchdowns this campaign. He'll now focus on new horizons as he's run out of collegiate eligibility.

Minnesota vs. New Mexico Prediction, Odds, Picks - December 26, 2025
Cristian Driver - Leaving Minneapolis Driver (undisclosed) will enter the transfer portal, per Andy Greder of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Impact Driver didn't play at all in 2025, missing the entire season with an undisclosed injury. Prior to that, the former Penn State receiver caught seven passes for 49 yards and one touchdown in 2024 with Minnesota. He should have one season of eligibility remaining at his next stop.
DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jackson Kollock - Entering transfer portal Kollock is entering the NCAA's transfer portal, On3 reports.
Impact Kollock becomes questionable for Minnesota's bowl game with New Mexico, scheduled Dec. 26. If the quarterback does transfer colleges, he would have spent less than a year as part of the Gophers.
DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Fame Ijeboi - Hits portal Ijeboi will enter the transfer portal, per 247Sports.com.
Impact Ijeboi got plenty of opportunities in his redshirt freshman season, in part taking advantage of the fact that starter Darius Taylor missed several games. Ijeboi finished as the Gophers' second leading rusher with 441 yards and two touchdowns on 4.5 yards-per-carry, also reeling in 12 catches for 54 yards and a score. With three seasons of eligibility remaining and a solid year at a Big Ten program under his belt, Ijeboi should have plenty of suitors in the portal.

Darius Taylor - Big day in season finale Taylor logged 19 carries for 100 yards and one touchdown and reeled in all four targets for 11 yards during Saturday's 17-7 win against Wisconsin.
Impact Taylor had a productive outing against the Badgers, running for 100 yards and a touchdown on the day. The 6-foot running back saw a large portion of his production on a single play, running for a 49-yard touchdown in the second quarter, giving the Golden Gophers a 10-0 lead at the time. Taylor finished the regular season with 554 yards and three touchdowns on 4.7 yards per attempt on the ground through nine games, adding 30 receptions for 222 scoreless yards through the air as well. He will get the opportunity for on more impactful performance in the team's upcoming bowl game.
DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Drake Lindsey - Season-low yards in victory Lindsey completed 18 of 24 passes for 90 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 17-7 win over Wisconsin.
Impact Though Lindsey threw for a season-low 90 yards against rival Wisconsin, he threw a touchdown and did enough for the Golden Gophers to get the victory. The 6-foot-5 quarterback connected with tight end Jameson Geers on a 13-yard scoring strike in the third quarter, giving the Golden Gophers the final score of the game. Lindsey finished with 2,235 yards and 16 touchdowns to six interceptions through 12 games on the season, adding four rushing touchdowns as well. Lindsey will have one final opportunity to make an impact for the Golden Gophers this season during Minnesota's upcoming bowl game.

College Football Week 14 Highlights, Scores: Alabama Escapes Auburn, More
Jameson Geers - Strong finish to regular season Geers (undisclosed) reeled in all four targets for 27 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 17-7 win versus Wisconsin.
Impact Geers' latest touchdown marks his fourth for 2025. During the Wisconsin-Minnesota game's fourth quarter, he logged a three-yard reception, meaning his touchdown celebration did not lead to an injury that would cost him time. It means Geers will enter Minnesota's scheduled bowl as a healthy option.

Jameson Geers - Suffers injury Saturday Geers (undisclosed) is questionable to return to Saturday's matchup versus Wisconsin.
Impact Geers got hurt while celebrating a touchdown catch in the third quarter. Drew Biber should see increased playing time if Geers is unable to return to the game.
NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Cristian Driver - Out for Week 14 Driver (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Wisconsin, Kendrick Stumbris of Sports Illustrated reports.
Impact Driver has alternated between available and out multiple times this season, and he will be the latter for Saturday's game. The wide receiver's next opportunity to play will be in a bowl matchup at a currently unknown date.
NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Henson - Out vs. Badgers Henson (undisclosed) isn't playing Saturday versus Wisconsin, per Kendrick Stumbris of SI.com.
Impact Henson is out again and hasn't appeared in a game yet this season. Brady Denaburg will thus serve as the Gophers' top kicker once again Saturday.
