In my opinion, Colorado doesn’t have a definitive starter at running back.
Houston transfer Alton McCaskill may be the most talented, but it’s yet to be seen how he’ll bounce back from an ACL injury; Kavosiey Smoke, a Kentucky transfer, brings a veteran presence following his five SEC seasons; and Sy’veon Wilkerson rejoins head coach Deion Sanders after being Jackson State’s primary back last fall.
Oh, and don’t forget about sophomore Anthony Hankerson, walk-on standout Charlie Offerdahl and incoming freshman Dylan Edwards, who’s likely the fastest of the bunch.
Wilkerson recently spoke with BuffZone’s Brian Howell about the competition forming in Colorado’s offensive backfield:
“I feel like with this running back room, it’s gonna be healthy competition,” Wilkerson told BuffZone. “We’ve already kicked off the chemistry. We jell really well already. I feel like that’s gonna help us be like the best running back room in the Pac 12 – no matter who is starting, who is second, who is third.”
