No. 3: Journey Brown – Penn State
Journey Brown last year, like Charbonnet, had a productive season but didn’t really jump out as Penn State’s next Miles Sanders or Saquon Barkley.
The Pennsylvania native racked up 890 yards and 12 touchdowns on 129 attempts as he split work with Noah Cain and Devyn Ford.
After barely playing as a freshman and producing the statistics above as a sophomore, Brown now enters his upperclassman years in Penn State’s lethal offensive attack led by junior quarterback Sean Clifford.
This marks the end of the productive-yet-not-star tier with the top two running backs on this list behind far-and-away the best running backs in the conference.
