The reigning Big Ten champs will lose last year’s leading rusher Trey Sermon to the NFL, but will be in good shape with running back Master Teague III back next fall.

Teague III is like a bowling ball with shoulder pads, listed at five-foot-eleven and 225 pounds he is a load to tackle and showed some burst with six runs of 20+ yards last season. Teague was great in the week 2 matchup with Penn State Football running for over 100 yards and a score.

The Buckeyes will count on one of their highly touted recruits to step up and share the backfield with Teague III next season, as no other running back had more than nine carries last season as quarterback Justin Fields rushed 81 times.

With the Buckeyes you kind of assume someone will step up and be the next guy in that backfield.
