Buffs Position Preview: Wealth Of Talent In Running Back Room

BOULDER — Safe to say, the Colorado Buffaloes have a wealth of talent at running back this year.

They have last year's Pac-12 leading rusher and Offensive Player of the Year, Jarek Broussard, who burst onto the scene with 895 yards and five touchdowns in six games, finishing third in the nation with a 149.2 average.

They have Alex Fontenot, the Buffs' leading rusher in 2019, when he rushed for 874 yards and five touchdowns.

And, they have a host of relatively untested but talented youngsters angling for their shot, including Ashaad Clayton (31 yards, two TDs in just three games last year), Joe Davis (37 yards last season), Jayle Stacks (a versatile back who can play fullback as well) and Deion Smith (returning from a knee injury).
