Gophers WR Hayden Moore out after gruesome hit

The freshman receiver has three catches for 49 yards this season, and Minnesota may expand Quayd Hendryx’s role against Akron.

  • Minnesota receiver Hayden Moore will miss Saturday's game against Akron after suffering a right-leg injury in the first quarter of the Gophers' 38-13 loss to Mississippi State last weekend.
  • Moore, a big target at 6-foot-1 and 205 pounds, impressed during preseason camp and immediately contributed with three receptions for 49 yards in his first two games.
  • With Moore sidelined, freshman receiver Quayd Hendryx will likely see an expanded role, having recorded one reception for 13 yards and two kickoff returns for 51 yards this season.
  • Minnesota is not currently required to disclose injury reports for nonconference games under Big Ten policy, though disclosure begins for all conference games before the September 26 matchup at Washington.
  • Quarterback Drake Lindsey set a new program record with 225 pass attempts without an interception on Saturday, surpassing the previous mark of 206 set by Max Brosmer in 2024.
