Around the Country, spring practices are coming to an end for college football teams as the Summer camps become a big practice. In Spring Practice, it's often hard for some position groups to stand out, but running backs always shine. Coming off an exciting Spring in the SEC, 3 running backs look poised for a breakout season in the SEC.

Braylen Russell - Arkansas
Arkansas star Mike Washington Jr is off to the NFL, and Ryan Silverfield is tasked with finding a new running back. The best candidate to step into the role is returnee Braylen Russell who's flown under the radar over the past two seasons. Russell is an explosive back who's averaged over 5.0 yards per carry over the last two seasons, and he should become a star in a featured role.
