Let's take a look at the running back position entering 2020. I must say, I feel much better about the position entering 2020, than I did entering 2019.
RBs in the Room: Justin Henderson (RS SR), Israel Tucker (RS SR), DeAndre Marcus (RS SO), Elijah Hines (RS FR), and Harlan Dixon (TR FR)
Projected Depth Chart:
Justin Henderson -- 216 carries, 1,175 yards, 15 TDs, 25 catches, 214 yards, 1 TD for his career
Israel Tucker -- 169 carries, 759 yards, 5 TDs, 25 catches, 178 yards, 1 TD for his career
DeAndre Marcus -- 29 carries, 220 yards, 1 TD, 2 catches, 12 yards for his career
Others:
Elijah Hines -- played in 1 game in 2019, had 3 carries for 29 yards
Harlan Dixon -- signed in the 2020 class
Brock Hays will enter his 2nd season as the RB coach at Louisiana Tech. I think he did a really nice job in 2019, especially in cleaning up some of Henderson's fumbling issues.
How much confidence do you have in the RB position entering 2020? 1-10, 1 -- there isn't a legit starter on the roster, 10 -- 1,500 total yard RB that is a 1st team all-conference performer backed-up by future 1,000 yard backs.
Let's hear 'em!
