Related Topics: Minnesota, Jalen Myrick

Time for the position group that has been decimated by attrition. All hope is not lost, but let us dig into the details and see if this group projects to be an upgrade or a downgrade?

Jalen Myrick and Damarius Travis were both All-Big Ten caliber players in the Gopher secondary. Both earning All-B1G honorable mention honors last season after both seniors started all 13 games. Travis led the Gopher defense in tackles and Myrick was the team’s primary corner ending the year with 11 pass breakups. They were the heart of a Gopher secondary that was pretty good.
