The 2025 FBS Running Back Poised to Eclipse Ashton Jeanty’s Legacy — Who Will It Be?
From the Tech game through Thanksgiving weekend, Washington’s rise helped Baylor average 7.2 yards per play to lead the power conferences.

Almost nobody in the upper reaches of last year’s yards-after-contact or run disruption leaderboards will suit up for a Group of Five team this year. McKinney won’t play for his original G5 team, but he’s moved from Sam Houston to UNM and looks like one of the key early building blocks for new coach Jason Eck.
McKinney took 97 carries for the Bearkats last year and averaged an unremarkable 5.0 yards while finishing with 481 yards overall, but his 3.9 yards per run disruption make him a compelling proposition for a Lobos program that, to put it mildly, is not winning a lot of NIL battles against Power Four programs.
