Opts out for remainder of 2020
Bateman announced Wednesday via personal Twitter account that he will opt out for the remainder of 2020 and turn his focus toward preparing for the 2021 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
Bateman made a major impact in his abbreviated campaign for the Golden Gophers, racking up 36 receptions for 487 yards and a pair of touchdowns over five games. With the Gophers out of contention in the Big Ten West and this weekend's rivalry game versus Wisconsin getting cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns, Bateman will call it a career and look to prepare to train for the draft.
