A way-too-early ranking of the top 10 Big 12 running backs ahead of 2024 season
Where does Tahj Brooks rank in the Big 12 running back hierarchy as we look toward the 2024 football season?
R.J. Harvey. player. . RB. R.J. Harvey. Senior. 3. 455. RB.
Speaking of explosive runners, R.J. Harvey became a star for the Knights in his first run through the Big 12. Last year, he ran for 1,416 yards and 16 TDs racking up 6.3 yards per carry.
This will be Harvey's sixth year in college. Thus, there are a lot of miles on his tires with 347 career carries. Will he be able to withstand another 226 carries in 2024 as he had last year?
Also, UCF will be breaking in a new QB in Arkansas transfer KJ Jefferson. He likely won't be the passing threat that John Rhys Plumlee was last fall. Thus, teams will load up the box to try to stop the Knights from running the ball in 2024 so the sledding might be much tougher for Harvey this year.
