If the spring game is any indication, Ohio State is set to have another dangerous backfield in 2025.
The Buckeyes’ top four running backs – James Peoples, CJ Donaldson, Bo Jackson and Sam Williams-Dixon – combined to collect 193 yards in just 30 carries, a clip of 6.4 yards per carry. Most of that production was accumulated by Jackson and Williams-Dixon, who are projected to be the third and fourth backs in Ohio State’s rotation this season behind Peoples and Donaldson.
With that quartet, Ryan Day is confident about where his running back room stands exiting spring practice.
