Here is a look at some of the top running backs to watch this upcoming college football season:
In his first full season as a starter, Allgeier became the first 1,000-yard rusher at BYU since Jamaal Williams in 2016 by rushing for 1,130 yards in 2020. His average of 7.53 yards per carry was the most by a Cougars tailback since Luke Staley (8.1) in 2001.
Bigsby earned Freshman of the Year honors in the SEC after rushing for 834 yards in 10 games last season. It was the second-highest total by a freshman running back just behind SMU’s Ulysses Bentley IV (913 yards).
