2) JK Dobbins:

Dobbins is entering his Junior season for the Buckeyes and the running back has not disappointed so far. He rushed for over 1,000 yards during his first two seasons at Ohio State while scoring 17 rushing touchdowns and three receiving touchdowns.

Do not be surprised in 2019 if Dobbins rushes for more than 1,500 yards in 2019. That’s because Dobbins will be carrying most of the burden in the running game.

He will share carries with Master Teague and other running backs but not as much as he did with Mike Weber last season. Dobbins is primed to have a big year now that he will be the featured running back.

His speed is the biggest part in the rushing game along with his elusiveness. Look for him to score around 15-20 touchdowns as well.

Another 1,000 yard season will match Archie Griffin’s three in a row. With all of the terrific running backs who have carried the football for the Buckeyes, Dobbins has the opportunity to be considered one of the greats.
