Entering the Mountain West Top 50 list at number seven is redshirt senior running back Jhurell Pressley from the New Mexico Lobos. Pressley has big play written all over him, as he led the nation last season with a gaudy 9.5 yards per carry. Rushing for 1,083 yards on just 114 carries was an impressive feat, and is giving the big play back, who had five runs last season over 60 yards, some early buzz. Pressley was named second-team All Mountain West by both Phil Steele and Athlon Sports. With New Mexico getting mentioned as maybe the most improved team in the conference this preseason, the play of Pressley will go a long way to make those dreams come true.
