Out of all the positions on the field, Sam Pittman and his coaching staff shouldn’t have to worry about the running back spot.
On the depth chart, the running back position has a great mixture of experience and youth. Leading the way is arguably the best running back in the country, Raheim “Rocket” Sanders. Sanders was named one of the top running backs in college football by College Sports Wire heading into the 2023 season after finishing the SEC second in rushing.
Behind Sanders is more experience. AJ Green, Rashod Dubinion, and Dominique Johnson are returning as spell-backs.
The former offensive coordinator didn’t consistently show how often he would use the depth in the backfield, but all that could change in Dan Enos’s new offense.
