Oklahoma State University Athletics
Position Breakdown: Running Back
April 05, 2019 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER - Gone is two-time first-team All-Big 12 running back Justice Hill, his 3,539 career rushing yards and his 30 career rushing touchdowns, but that doesn't mean Oklahoma State is without options.
A glimpse into the future was provided last season when Hill got injured in early November and essentially missed the final four games of the season. During that time, Chuba Hubbard (now a sophomore) stepped in and proved himself to be more than capable. In his four games as the featured back (at No. 6 Oklahoma, vs. No. 7 West Virginia, at TCU and vs. No. 23 Missouri in the Liberty Bowl), he averaged 106.3 rushing yards per contest and 5.4 yards per carry. In those four games, he produced three 100-yard rushing performances and five rushing touchdowns. He was also effective in the passing game, logging 13 receptions in those four contests.
Hubbard is the most accomplished returning running back, but he's not the only one who has shown the ability to make plays. Junior LD Brown is one of the fastest players on the team and enters 2019 averaging 6.3 yards per carry on 61 career attempts.
Junior college transfer Dezmon Jackson and redshirt freshman Jahmyl Jeter will also get a look during the spring.
