College Football: Breaking down top international stars from 2020
By John Scimeca
Chuba Hubbard – RB, Oklahoma State (Canada)
The Sherwood Park, Alberta native had a disappointing follow-up season to his 2019 campaign, in which he rushed for a nation-leading 2,094 yards and 21 touchdowns. Through just three seasons, Hubbard ranks No. 8 among all Oklahoma State running backs and No. 15 among all Big 12 running backs in terms of career rushing yards (3,459).
In 2020, injuries hampered the 6-foot-0 junior while he rushed for 625 yards and five touchdowns in only seven of his team’s 11 games.
In his team’s first four contest last season, Hubbard rushed for 119.5 yards per game on more than five yards per carry. Importantly, OSU won all four of these games, including a 24-21 win against Iowa State before the Cyclones finished the season ranked in the Top 10.
Hubbard has displayed tough between-the-tackles running and breakaway speed. He opted out of his senior season, and many expect him to go in the second or third round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
