I say, “SPRING,” you say, “POSITION PREVIEWS!”

That’s right. The hiatus is over. Football is back! Well, the spring version of football, at least. And in the weeks leading up to the Minnesota Golden Gophers’ spring game at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 13, at TCF Bank Stadium, we’ll be breaking down each position group.

Key Departure(s): None
Key Returner(s): Rodney Smith, Shannon Brooks, Mohamed Ibrahim, Bryce Williams, and Nolan Edmonds
Early Enrollee(s): Treyson Potts and Jason Williamson
