Ohio State is Pushing Hard to Get Top-ranked Running Backs in Columbus Again, and It Might Be Working

A short drought of top-ranked running back prospects could come to an end for Ohio State soon with multiple top-ranked 2020 tailbacks interested in the Buckeyes.

Ohio State might have one more year before it needs to turn to its underclassman running backs that sit behind J.K. Dobbins on the depth chart. With the possibility of Dobbins declaring for the NFL draft after the 2019 season and Demario McCall working out with both the running backs and the wide receivers as an H-back, all eyes would turn to the three current freshman running backs in 2020.

Steele Chambers, Marcus Crowley and Master Teague, who is a redshirt freshman, are all competing for some sort of backup role behind Dobbins after Mike Weber left for the draft after the 2018 season.
