A freshman All-America honoree in 2016, Justice Hill returns after producing the top freshman rushing season in Oklahoma State history with 1,142 yards a season ago. That mark led all FBS freshmen in 2016 and stands as the fifth-best single-season performance for a freshman in Big 12 Conference history. He is the only Cowboy freshman in history to rush for over 1,000 yards and enters 2017 as a preseason first-team All-Big 12 selection by Athlon, Lindy's and Street and Smith's.
Hill was sidelined during the spring after undergoing surgery, but is fully cleared for 2017. While Hill was out during spring, junior Jeff Carr and redshirt freshman LD Brown saw an increase of reps. With 20 career games played, Carr has been around. He has seen some important game action and has 48 career carries for 227 yards (4.7 avg.) and two touchdowns in his career.
In addition to Brown, a trio of other freshmen have a realistic chance to earn playing time this season: J.D. King, Ja'Ron Wilson and Chuba Hubbard.
