Since the graduation of John Hubert at the end of the 2013 season, the running back position for the Wildcats has been in a state of...flux.
Charles Jones took the main starting spot in 2014, and held it for three years — amid much call for his replacement. During those three years Jones split carries with the likes of DeMarcus Robinson, Jarvis Leverett, and whoever was playing QB at the time, plus three other guys that are still on the team.
During the 2015 season, a sophomore walk-on emerged as a possible true replacement, but between games of 100+ yards in 2015 and 2016, there were large stretches where Justin Silmon got few carries.
