It was a difficult season for Florida football fans in 2021, a campaign marred by the dismissal of disgraced head coach Dan Mullen and two members of his staff while finishing below the .500 mark with the worst record in SEC play since 1986. Still, one of the brighter spots in an otherwise dull season was the Gators’ running back room, which for a while was among the best in the nation.
In fact, at one point Florida had the best rushing attack of any non-military school, spearheaded by a pair of athletic quarterbacks and a trio of talented running backs. By the end of the season, the Gators had the 23rd-ranked running game in all of college football and fourth-best in the SEC.
Below, we have all 10 players who made one or more rushing attempts last season in order of their total net yards, from the most notable names to at least one surprise. All stats were taken from FloridaGators.com.
