Running backs

Devontae Booker (Utah)

Booker is the heart and soul of this offense, and the team will only go as far as he does. He takes the pressure off of Travis Wilson, which opens up the offense exponentially. He’s averaging 130 yards on the ground, and has eight touchdowns on the year. He’s someone who will emerge as a top back in the NFL draft because of his versatile skill-set and production, which are always the two words you hear when talking about successful running backs at the next level.

Christian McCaffrey (Stanford)

Christian McCaffrey’s skill-set goes well beyond the running back role. Not only is he one of the top backs in the conference, but he’s a yardage machine, being just as effective in the return game, and helping out on the receiving end as well. With 844 yards on the season, and five touchdowns, he’s one of the best running backs in the nation.
