Minnesota running back Mohamed Ibrahim suffered a season-ending leg injury and will require surgery, Gophers coach P.J. Fleck confirmed Monday.
Ibrahim sustained the injury on Thursday in a 45-31 loss to No. 4 Ohio State on Thursday. The Pioneer Press reports that it is believed to be a torn Achilles, although Fleck did not specify.
The fifth-year senior ran for 163 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries before leaving the game in the third quarter. It was his ninth straight 100-yard game, which extended a school record.
Ibrahim rushed for 1,076 yards and 15 touchdowns in seven games in the shortened 2020 season to earn third-team All-American honors and the Big Ten running back of the year award.
