Who will shine at the three running back positions?

The Yellow Jackets have to replace all three backs going into this year. That’s one of the few positions they have to replace, but it is also one of the most crucial when you are talking about running a triple-option.

Synjtn Days, Zach Laskey, and Charles Perkins were the three leading rushers last year outside of Justin Thomas, and all three are gone. So for the spring game, the first thing to look for is fairly simple: who will step up at those positions?

Broderick Snoddy is back from a leg injury and will likely have a spot in the roster, but he won’t play in the spring game as he still has to recover.

That leaves the game open for Dennis Andrews, and redshirt freshman C.J. Leggett could also fight for a role.

Making things more confusing, though, Quaide Weimerskirch is another candidate for a spot but will have to miss the game as well due to injury. Walk-ons Brady Swilling and Ryan Braswell are the final pieces to the puzzle.

So take a look at who stands out among Swilling, Braswell, Andrews, and Leggett because only one of them might be starting in the Fall.
