Minnesota Golden Gophers

Le'Meke Brockington

WR

Brockington logged two receptions for the third game in a row before starting quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis (lower body) was forced out in the second quarter. The redshirt freshman receiver caught just five of nine targets for 99 yards over the first 10 weeks of the season, but he's taken on a bigger role since sitting out Week 11 versus Northwestern, logging four six catches on 11 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown over the final three contests. This included a game-winning touchdown versus Wisconsin in the regular-season finale. Brockington still slotted in as the team's third or fourth receiving option over this span, though his increased usage down the stretch could indicate a bigger role heading into the 2023 campaign.
