A player who will have the opportunity to become the top running back in the Big 12 is Kennedy Brooks. With both Jalen Hurts and Trey Sermon in the NFL and Ohio State respectively, Brooks will be getting a majority of the carries in 2020.

Lincoln Riley proved to us last season that he loves to run the ball. Oklahoma led the Big 12 in rushing yards and touchdowns, going for 240 yards a game and having a total of 38 scores. A Heisman trophy darkhorse candidate, Brooks could emerge as a highly rated NFL Draft pick.
