Ohio State Returns Two Former 1,000 Yard Rushers and Adds Three Highly-Touted Freshman to Its Running Back Stable

As the start of spring football at Ohio State approaches on March 6, we here at Eleven Warriors are taking a position-by-position look at the competitions to come when practices begin in less than two weeks.

Ohio State faces quite a few positional question marks heading into the 2018 season, but running back is not one of them. The Buckeyes return not one, but two former 1,000-yard rushers, two talented backups waiting to make an impact and have three four-star recruits arriving as reinforcements.

As Ohio State searches for a new starting quarterback this spring, the running back position provides a much-needed area of stability to the offense.
