By Zane Harris
Ohio State is becoming one of the best running back universities in all of college football. They currently have four running backs on NFL rosters and arguably the best running back in the NFL in Ezekiel Elliott.
It seems as if the future is bright for Buckeye backfield as well as J.K. Dobbins was recently drafted early in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft and in the 2020 season for the Buckeyes, both Master Teague and Trey Sermon are looking to have great seasons with the team once they recover from their current injuries.
A running back position is one of the most important positions to have when being a team in the Big Ten. The conference is known as being filled with running backs being hard-hitting workhorses. This stands true when looking at backs like Ezekiel Elliott, Saquon Barkley, Le’Veon Bell, Jonathan Taylor, and J.K. Dobbins just to name a few from recent drafts.
