Gophers WR Bateman skips season amid virus worries, goes pro
Minnesota Gophers wide receiver Rashod Bateman has opted out of the 2020 season amid concerns about the coronavirusAUGUST 4, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Opting out of 2020 season Bateman announced Tuesday via his personal Twitter account that he will opt out of the 2020 season, citing concerns about playing during the coronavirus pandemic.
Impact Coming off a stellar sophomore season in which he compiled 60 receptions for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns, Bateman becomes the most significant name to drop out of the upcoming season. Bateman was expected to take on an even greater target share in 2020 with Tyler Johnson moving on to the NFL, but with both of their top receivers from last season out of the mix, the Golden Gophers are suddenly short on experienced pass catchers. Bateman will turn his focus to preparing for the 2021 NFL Draft, where he could be one of the top receivers off the board.
