Minneapolis, Minnesota — The Big Ten announced all-conference performers on the offensive side of the ball Wednesday and the Gophers had seven players honored.
One of the Gopher players was Minnesota’s bruising tight end Ko Kieft, who was named Honorable Mention by both the coaches and media. Kieft helped the offensive line pave the way for five different Gopher running backs to record 100-yard games this year, and he also caught seven passes for 101 yards and one score.
