Miami Hurricanes 2018 Position Battles: Running Back

The 2018 Miami Hurricanes running back situation is an about-face from a season ago. Mark Walton was the marquee attraction, but went down with a season-ending ankle injury, opening the door for Travis Homer to soak up the spotlight as the primary ball carrier in 2017. Freshman athlete DeeJay Dallas, who is blessed with so much talent that a few position coaches were surely making the case to add him to their meeting room, ended up a member of RB coach Thomas Brown’s running back room. Dallas burst onto the scene, finessing defenders with every carry for a big gain and hyping up the Canes’ fanbase in the process.
