Minnesota Football: Spring Position Previews - Special Teams

Ryan Santoso is back, but how will the Gophers replace the legendary Peter Mortell?

Between now and the Gophers' spring game at TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday, April 9, we'll be breaking down each position group on both offense and defense. We'll take a look at who is leaving, who is coming back, and what to watch for before Minnesota takes the field for fall training camp.

Last but not least? Special teams.

Redshirt junior Ryan Santoso has been a more than solid kicker for the Gophers the past two years. In 2015, Santoso made 17-of-21 field goal attempts, including seven field goals of 40 yards or more.
