Justice Hill proved to be a dynamic runner in 2017, but does the Oklahoma State football back have what it takes to capture a Heisman Trophy this season?

In a conference known for high-scoring affairs and prolific passers, running backs in the Big 12 are often put on the back burner.

Against the odds, Justice Hill stood out amongst the crowd as he emerged as a standout running back for Oklahoma State last season.

The Cowboys’ tailback enjoyed a breakout sophomore season in 2017 and finished the year as the Big 12 leader in carries (268), rushing yards (1,467) and touchdowns (15).

Hill was instrumental in leading Oklahoma State to its third consecutive 10-win season in 2017 and in 2018, he will be a key feature in the Cowboys’ backfield.

The stage is set for the Oklahoma native. Does he have what it takes to hoist the Heisman Trophy in 2018?
