The 2015 recruiting cycle was loaded with starter (and star)-caliber running backs: Nick Brossette, Derrius Guice, Ronald Jones II, Saquon Barkley, Johnny Frasier, Dexter Williams, Desherrius Flowers (USF via UA), and L.S. Scott would all be impact players at their school (and eventually part of NFL classes).
But, for much of the year, the nation’s No. 1 running back recruit was the bespectacled A- and B-student from Berea, Kentucky, a 5’10”, 210-pound fire plug of a player: Damien Harris, the reigning USA Today Kentucky High School POY.
