Class of 2016 Running Back Prospects Big Board

Written By: Nick Holmes (@HoosierHolmes)

We are just a few days away from finding out where the Hoosiers single-season rushing record holder Tevin Coleman will continue his football career. His outstanding performance in 2014 served not only to raise his draft stock, but has been a great selling-point to running back prospects across the country for the Hoosiers coaching staff. So which 2016 running back(s) could pick Indiana as their future college destination?

Tevin Coleman’s outstanding performance in 2014 served not only to raise his draft stock, but has been a great selling-point to running back prospects across the country for the Hoosiers coaching staff. Additionally, playing under a young, energetic coach on-the-rise like Coach Deland McCullough also plays in the Hoosiers favor. So which 2016 running back(s) could pick Indiana as their future college destination?

Below are the names of some of the talented athletes that the Hoosiers have offered or could be on the verge of offering. Many of them possess the versatility to play multiple positions, so although they are listed as a running back, they could eventually end up in the slot, defensive back, or even possibly linebacker, as is the case with Ben Davis’ Chris Evans or Brownsburg’s Toks Akinribade. Stars and rankings are based on 247 Sports composite rankings.

Note – This list will change over the next few months and even weeks as new names emerge during summer camps.
