Ranking the top 10 running backs in college football for 2023

9. Jarquez Hunter, Jr., Auburn

Hunter was in a loaded backfield with Tank Bigsby as a freshman, but he still managed to shine by rushing for 6.7 yards per carry in 2021. That number dropped only by 0.3 yards in 2022 while having 104 carries. Bigsby is now a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars, creating an opportunity for Hunter to explode into a national name in 2023.

What a run by JARQUEZ HUNTER!
