Our post-spring rankings are underway. We have ranked the head coaches and the projected starting quarterbacks in the Big Ten — you can see both articles below.
We now focus on the top running backs in the conference. The Big Ten lost elite backs from last season. Chase Brown (Illinois), Mo Ibrahim (Minnesota) and Evan Hull (Northwestern) were at the top a season ago in terms of yardage and production. While those teams are trying to find ways to replicate their production, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and Wisconsin get their stars back for 2023.
In this segment, we rank the top 20 running backs in the conference. Our only rule is each team can have a maximum of two running backs listed. A few teams have three or four running backs that may be better than Northwestern or Rutgers‘ top back.
Here are the best of the best running backs in the conference
