In following the tradition of sharing carries, Najee Harris got better in his sophomore season at the University of Alabama. The running back from California finished second on the team in rushing yards (783) and had four touchdowns on 117 carries.
Despite having 36 less attempts than Damien Harris and Josh Jacobs, the younger Harris averaged nearly seven yards (6.69) per rush.
A five-star in the 2017 class, Harris was “Mr. Football” in California and was the top-ranked athlete overall in the cycle. The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder is on the Maxwell and Doak Walker Award preseason watch list, while the media named him a first-teamer for the All-SEC Team.
