Ranking the Big Ten’s top-five running backs heading into 2024

The Big Ten Conference has had some great running backs over the years, and the upcoming season should be no exception.

Today, we rank the top-five Big Ten running backs heading into the 2024 season.

5. Jordan James (Oregon)

Last season, the Oregon Ducks had one of the most explosive offenses in college football by scoring 44.2 points per game. Bucky Irving was the leading back with more than 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns, and right behind him was James, who had 12 touchdowns and 891 total yards of his own.

He’s going to be taking over as the lead back with Irving off to the NFL.
