Autman-Bell played in 10 games for the Golden Gophers in 2021, totaling 490 yards and 6 touchdowns on 35 catches. He’s proven time and again to be capable of hauling in even some of the most difficult passes throughout his career.
Over his 4 years at Minnesota, Autman-Bell has totaled 113 catches for 1,740 yards and 12 touchdowns. He’s played in 42 career games, as well.
Minnesota finished the 2021 season with an 8-4 record and was in the race for the B1G West until the final week of the season. With Morgan, Ibrahim and Autman-Bell all returning, the Golden Gophers should be a real threat to get to the B1G Championship Game next season.
