No. 1: Master Teague – Ohio State

Master Teague is set to take over in the Buckeye backfield this season after 2019 starter J.K. Dobbins entered the NFL.

If the Badgers are a revolving door for good running backs, Ohio State is no different as it seems like every replacement is a four or five-star recruit with NFL potential.

Teague now, entering his redshirt sophomore season, is no different.

The Tennessee native turned 135 carries last season into 789 yards and four touchdowns as the Buckeyes won yet another Big Ten title.

He is the lead guy now in a Buckeye backfield that benefits greatly from quarterback Justin Fields’ running and passing ability, an offense which in all honesty is one of the hardest to defend in the nation and one which creates massive space for their running backs to break free.

If you were happy that Dobbins was no longer the guy for Ohio State, Teague won’t be any easier to contain.
