be in the minority but I do not see any reason to be adding running backs. It seems as though Josh Williams is coming back and that can be your veteran presence in that room. Let those three young guys get some run. Kaleb Jackson showed a lot or promise, Trey Holly flashed in the very limited action he had, and Caden Durham is a highly recruited running back that dominated at the 6A level in Texas.

Yeah, I'm only adding a back if it's someone elite. I bet they add someone though.

To me it comes down to how much they trust jackson and holly. If Josh Williams gets hurt again, you are down to 2 redshirt freshmen.

Not that it matters, but Jackson is a sophomore. Also, many teams trust their young RBs.

Texas had a redshirt sophomore leading their team who had 51 carries total before the season. His backup was a 5 star true freshman and the 3rd string was a true sophomore. When the starter went down, those two combined for 120 a game over the last 4 games, at 5.7 ypc. I remember in 2013 when Bama's backfield was 2 true sophomores and a tru freshman.
