With Bryce Love returning to Stanford, along with the continued emergence of Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor, Ohio State’s J.K. Dobbins and Boston College’s AJ Dillon, the running back position is stocked with talent for the 2018 college football season. Love ranks as Athlon’s No. 1 running back for the upcoming year and should be among the leading candidates to win the Heisman Trophy this fall. Alabama’s Damien Harris, Florida State’s Cam Akers and Washington’s Myles Gaskin are just a few of the other names inside of the top 10.
Athlon Sports is taking an early look at the running back position by ranking the top 50 players for 2018.
