Ohio State Football: Running back unit is loaded

Ohio State football assistant coach Tony Alford is one of the best recruiters in the country.

J.K. Dobbins was one of the best running backs to play Ohio State football but he will now play on Sundays. Not to worry, the Buckeye running game will be fine.

Now that the Ohio State football team will be losing J.K. Dobbins to the NFL a year early, concerns about the state of the running back situation heading into the 2020 season are understandable.

Not helping matters is half the unit is rehabbing injuries. Master Teague is recovering from the Achilles injury he sustained in spring practice, Marcus Crowley is recovering from his torn ACL and transfer Trey Sermon is recovering from his torn LCL.
