The NCAA decision to waive eligibility for the 2020 season will benefit the Gophers greatly. Starters Coney Durr (CB), Sam Schlueter (OL), and Conner Olson (OL) are among the many senior veterans on the roster.
The Gophers’ two biggest losses are Rashod Bateman (WR) and Ben St-Juste (CB). Both are eligible for the NFL Draft and will workout in front of NFL scouts next Thursday at Gophers’ Pro Day.
