Running back

Running back is arguably the deepest position of the roster for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Joe Moorhead should find plenty of ways to use the multitude of athletes at the position throughout the offense.

A season ago, Aeris Williams was one of the best running backs in the Southeastern Conference. He ran for over 1100 yards and carried the Bulldogs, as well as defenders that tried to stop him, throughout the year. Now, with Moorhead’s offense, Williams could have a spectacular senior season.

But, even through Williams is a great starter, don’t be surprised when Kylin Hill makes his way onto the field. The young running back is going to be a star in the SEC and has the versatility to improve MSU’s offense in several ways while on the field.

  • Starter- Aeris Williams
  • Backup- Kylin Hill
  • Backup- Nick Gibson
  • Backup- Dontavian Lee
