Ranking the best running backs in the country

College Wire Regional Editor Patrick Conn breaks down his top 10 running backs for the upcoming 2022 season.

The start of the 2022 college football season officially starts on Saturday, but the Texas Longhorns kick it off a week later.

One of the biggest keys to a successful season in Austin could revolve around the play in the backfield. No, we aren’t pointing to the newly named starting quarterback Quinn Ewers. His backfield mate Bijan Robinson is the topic of this discussion. Robinson was named to the AP All-American first-team on Monday and for good reason.

Some notable names will be recognizable to fans of the Big 12 with Robinson being joined by Deuce Vaughn and former TCU runner Zach Evans. The Big Ten, PAC-12, and SEC are also represented on the list.

As the season draws near, we are breaking down the top 10 running backs for 2022.
