University of Minnesota running back Mohamed Ibrahim was in the midst of torching Ohio State in the opening game of his fifth-year senior season with 30 carries for 163 yards and two touchdowns. With Minnesota trailing 31-21 late in the fourth quarter though, Ibrahim ruptured his achilles tendon and wouldn’t play again in 2021. In an interview at the Luxor Hotel during Shrine Bowl Week with Steelers Depot, Ibrahim discussed how he spent his season on the sidelines, his impressive final season at Minnesota and his NFL future.
After suffering the injury, Ibrahim decided he wanted to stay involved with the program and help out his teammates.
