Transfer of Florida RB Adam Lane Puts Pressure on Freshman Jordan Scarlett

Over the last decade, we've seen a surge of freshmen running backs making a major impact in the world of college football.

From former South Carolina star Marcus Lattimore and former Auburn BCS National Championship Game offensive MVP Michael Dyer to last year's stud crop that consisted of Leonard Fournette (LSU), Nick Chubb (Georgia), Dalvin Cook (Florida State), Samaje Perine (Oklahoma) and Royce Freeman (Oregon), teams are more dependent on youngsters than ever before.

Florida freshman Jordan Scarlett isn't in that company yet, but he's one step closer.

Part of the reason is the transfer of the rising sophomore running back and Birmingham Bowl MVP Adam Lane.
