Ibrahim Named to the 2021 Walter Camp Preseason All-America Team

University of Minnesota running back Mohamed Ibrahim was named to the 2021 Walter Camp Preseason All-America Team today. Ibrahim was named First-Team Offense as he heads into his fifth year with the Gophers.

Last season, Ibrahim was named Big Ten Running Back of the Year, All-Big Ten First Team and AP Third-Team All-America after rushing 201 times (25th most in school single-season history) for 1,076 yards (23rd most in school single season-history) and 15 touchdowns (most ever for a junior at Minnesota and ranks fourth in school-single season history).

He led the Big Ten in the following categories: rushing attempts (201), rushing yards (1,076), rushing yards per game (153.7), rushing touchdowns (15), scoring (90), points per game (12.9) and all-purpose yards per game (168.4). Ibrahim also set a school record with a rushing average of 153.7 yards per game and tied a school record with four rushing touchdowns in a one game (did so at Maryland and at Illinois).

Ibrahim ranks ninth on Minnesota's career rushing list with 2,840 yards despite playing in only 28 games. He ranks tied for sixth in school history with 31 rushing touchdowns and his 5.49 yards per carry average ranks eighth all-time in school history (minimum 200 carries) while his 517 carries ranks 12th.

Ibrahim ranks tied for first in school history with three career 200-yard rushing games and ranks first in school history with eight straight 100-yard rushing games (1/1/20 - 12/19/20). He is one of two Gophers ever to have two consecutive 200-yard rushing games and rushed 217 times for 1,160 yards (second most ever for a Gopher freshman) and nine touchdowns as a freshman in 2018. Ibrahim rushed for more than 100 yards in five games in 2018 to become the first Gopher freshman to do so since Laurence Maroney (five 100-yard games) in 2003. He also set a freshman single-game record with 224 yards against Georgia Tech (most by a Gopher in a single game since Maroney ran for 258 yards against Wisconsin in 2005) in the 2018 Quick Lane Bowl and produced the 12th-best rushing game in school history.

Go Gophers!!

That's very nice .... but I wonder:

But what on earth is a preseason all american team?

Like "this guy should do gud... this year .... maybe"?

The watchlists are weird enough but this is ... like a final award for 'preseason'?

This is similar to college basketball preseason All Americans right? At least in football there probably aren't any freshmen that make the team. Last year in basketball Cade Cunningham was a preseason first-team All American without having played one second of college basketball. There were two freshmen on the third team as well.
