Top Ten: RB's

Top Ten Running Backs

1. Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina - Broke the hearts of Auburn fans the day before National Signing Day, choosing to stay at home with the Gamecocks. When former Tiger legend Stephen Davis introduced Lattimore, many thought the Byrnes-product was headed to the SEC West. Lattimore has the ideal size, speed combination you look for from a complete back. He is 6'0'', 215 pounds with sub 4.5 speed in the forty yard dash. He also runs with great balance and field vision, rare for a high school tailback. Lattimore will come in and compete right away for the starting job at South Carolina.

2. Michael Dyer, Auburn
3. Mack Brown, Florida
4. Giovanni Bernard, North Carolina
5. Rajion Neal, Tennessee
6. Storm Johnson, Miami
7. Ken Malcome, Georgia
8. Eduardo Clements, Miami
9. Brandon Gainer, Kentucky
10. Corey Grant, Alabama

I’m looking forward to seeing Bernard. UNC used to be known as tailback U. I’m hoping he can help bring that back.

I’d bet Mack Brown has the most and earliest success. UF hasn’t had a back like him in ages.
