Top 5 running backs in college football for 2018

4. Rodney Anderson, Oklahoma

I don’t think anybody in college football had a better final seven weeks in 2017 than Anderson. The 6’2”, 220 pound back totaled 1343 yards from scrimmage during that stretch, once he surpassed ten touches in a game. With his violent running style he looked so much like a young Beastmode.

Anderson has a strong, thick lower body that enables him to run through arm tackles without breaking a sweat and he packs a mean stiff-arm to keep defenders away from his body and push himself off. We have yet to see if he can keep up the production without Baker Mayfield next to him in the backfield, but he is able to punish opposing defenses and showed some involvement in the passing game as well.
