2. Isaiah Spiller, RB

Isaiah Spiller finished with just under 1,000 yards in his freshman season and then eclipsed that mark in 2020 as the starter for the season. He also has 19 touchdowns to go with all those yards.

Just one of the many great moments of his 2020 season is shown below with his trucking touchdown against the Florida Gators that helped the Aggies win the game that changed their season.

Of course, like Jalen Wydermyer, he will now be sharing the load. Sophomore running back Devon Achane showed that he has what it takes to be an Aggie running back in the Orange Bowl last year where he was crowned MVP. Spiller finished that game with 50 yards and two touchdowns despite an injured toe.

Will Spiller get enough opportunities to be able to garner that All-American status? I think so, but Jimbo Fisher will have to get creative when it comes to getting both of these incredibly talented and speedy guys involved in the offense.
