A unanimous All-American in 2019, Chuba Hubbard has earned his spot on the preseason list for the Heisman Trophy in 2020. He was honored as the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year by both the coaches and the Associated Press a year ago after leading the FBS with 2,094 rushing yards, 161.1 rushing yards per game, 179.5 all-purpose yards per game, 11 consecutive 100-yard rushing games and four 200-yard rushing games. The most dangerous big-play threat in the country, he led the FBS with 15 rushes of 30 yards or longer, nine rushes of 40 yards or longer, seven rushes of 50 yards or longer, five rushes of 60 yards or longer, three rushes of 70 yards or longer, two rushes of 80 yards or longer and one rush of 90 yards or longer.
In senior LD Brown, OSU has a well-established complement to Hubbard in the run game. Brown has more than 600 career rushing yards to his credit and is a capable big-play threat in his own right with a career average of 6.0 yards per carry.
Junior college transfer Dezmon Jackson dealt with an injury for the bulk of the 2019 season, so he didn't have the chance to see much game action. Well-thought-of youngster Deondrick Glass comes out of redshirt.
