The Big Ten has long been one of the best conferences for running backs throughout the nation. This year is no different, as the number of returners are excepted to be some of the top running backs in the country.
Big Ten Network analyst J Leman recently ranked his top five running backs in the conference, and Wisconsin’s Braelon Allen was rightfully on the list.
Minnesota transfer Sean Tyler started off the list, with Ohio State’s TreVeyon Henderson following him up at No. 4. Allen was No. 3 on the list, with Nicholas Singleton and Blake Corum ahead of him. It’s hard to argue that the league won’t have the best running backs in 2023:
Talk about a daunting task. 😰
