DEPTH CHART: Running Back

July 28, 2026 -

The off-season is in the books. It’s now time to prepare for Fall Camp and the 2026 season. Head coach Mario Cristobal and running backs coach Favian Upshaw have assembled a talented and deep group for 2026.

The only question is … can they gel in all phases of the position and take the big step toward elite status in college football.

Our series continues today focusing on the potential competition for starting positions and backup roles at each position. Our projections of each depth chart are just that, not the actual depth charts. Every Cane must earn their position and playing time on the depth chart.

No freebies. Let’s go!
