You can expect depth chart orderings and notes on all 137 FBS programs for the RB position in this document.
You can find the player’s stats and profile information by clicking on their names. The ordering of the charts are determined using a variety of sources, including beat reports and third party services such as Rotowire and CFB Depth. In the absence of concrete information, a best guess is made based on last year’s rotation (it’ll be clearly indicated if this is the case in the ‘note’ section).
The recruiting ranking of each player is derived from ON3 or 247Sports.
Note on injury designations:
Probable — Player suffered an injury but is practicing or expected to return soon.
Questionable — Player suffered an injury and is expected to miss significant time in spring/fall camp and/or has yet to return from injury.
Out/OFS — Player is out indefinitely.
PPG: I have provided with each program the head coach’s and OC’s PPG average for their RB1s (half PPR). This average pulls from a sample of data between 2018 and 2024, so keep in mind that for some coaches who only have one year in that sample, the numbers could skew very high or low. Data is provided by Joe from Purple Reign.
OL: Measure of returning snaps on the offensive line. These figures are provided by CFBWinningEdge.
The PPG and OL numbers relate to the OL and coaching staff who coached the team in 2025. These numbers will be updated later in the offseason when the smoke clears.***
Alabama
(HC / OC) PPG: 15.3 / 16.6 — OL: 65%
Daniel Hill | 2024 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | MS
Kevin Riley QUES | 2024 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | AL
Note: Alabama struggled to run the ball in 2025, in part due to a problematic OL, but also lack of playmakers at RB. Former NCST RB Daylen Smothers announced on Jan 11. that he flipped his commitment to Texas. Miller is headed to the NFL. Young transferred to CU. Keith comes in from App State.

Air Force
(HC / OC) PPG: 14.5 / 14.5 — OL: 55%
Owen Allen | 2023 | TX
Travis Wood (FB) | 2024 | ⭐⭐ | CA
Note: AF runs a triple-option offence that utilizes both a RB and a FB. It’s typically the FB position that dominates the rushing production in this offence. Service academies are particularly challenging to track eligibility and should have more info as offseason continues. 2026 Spring roster shows most of the 2025 room cleared out, excluding Owen Allen and Travis Wood. Kemper Hodges is still on the team but listed a QB. Players listed with (FB) are designated fullbacks on the roster.

Jordan Gant | 2022 | FL
Sean Patrick QUES | 2024 | ⭐⭐⭐ | OH
Note: Sean Patrick started the year as the RB1, but Tennessee State transfer Jordan Gant took over when he was injured and never looked back. Gant is Akron’s first 1000 yard rusher since 2008, and (as of writing this) is still on Akron’s roster for 2026. Curry looks to have preserved his redshirt.

(HC / OC) PPG: 10 / 13.2 — OL: 43%
Jake Rendina | 2023 | MT
Briggs Bartosh | 2023 | MO
Note: Service academies roster a lot of ‘RBs’ and are the most difficult to track beyond the top two or three starters. Nwawuihe does not currently have RB eligibility on Fantrax (listed as QB). He had a big bowl game as a runner. I’m tentatively listing him here for now, but it is not clear what position eligibility he’ll get. Army rosters RBs and ‘SBs’ that also operate as runners out of the backfield.
