B.J. Smith was a 1,000-yard rusher last season and is the Sun Belt Conference’s Preseason Offensive Player of the Year.
“In college football, it’s hard to rely on one guy anymore – especially when you snap the ball 80, 90 times a game, one guy can’t play all those snaps,” Trojans head coach Chip Lindsey said.
Jabir Daughtry-Frye had the second-most carries (53) and yards (383) at running back last season. Then-redshirt freshman DK Billingsley was next with 35 carries and 148 yards.
“I got here in the spring and (Billingsley) was a little bit unknown,” Lindsey said.
