RUNNING BACK
Top Prospects
Eno Benjamin | Arizona State
Lamical Perine | Florida
Ke’Shawn Vaughn | Vanderbilt
Not a ton of star power in this group, but still some intriguing prospects who will be productive players at the next level. Benjamin is a three-down back who averaged 1,600 total yards in each of the past two seasons, while Perine made the most of limited opportunities (only 15+ carries once in 2019). Vaughn was overshadowed by bigger names in the SEC, but he’s as talented as any runner in this group.
Sleeper to Watch
Antonio Gibson | Memphis
The departure of Darrell Henderson left a huge void in the Tigers’ offense, and while Kenny Gainwell provided the bulk of his replacement on the ground, Gibson’s versatility was a huge weapon. A big-play machine, Gibson averaged 11.2 yards per carry and nearly 20 yards per reception in 2019.
