That makes 11, so the Big Good Surprise is a back-up.
My selection is is running back Jase McClellan, a 5-11, 212-pound sophomore running back from Aledo, Texas. In last year’s 13-0 national championship season, McClellan saw most of his playing time on special teams, but also had 23 rushes for 245 yards and 2 touchdowns. He played in every game. His 80-yard TD run against Arkansas was Bama’s longest run from scrimmage in 2020. In the first game in which he carried the football, against Kentucky, he rushed 10 times for 99 yards and a touchdown.
