Kansas Football's running backs, led by players like Neal and Hishaw, showcased a dynamic game last season with notable performances against teams like UCF. Concerns for the upcoming season revolve around depth and injury risks despite capable players. In contrast, Michigan Football secured a commitment from highly-rated running back Donovan Johnson, emphasizing his physical attributes and past achievements. Additionally, Michigan is actively pursuing recruits like four-star cornerback Shamari Earls, positioning themselves as a contender against other schools like Georgia. On the other hand, Michigan State's football backfield has seen improvements, notably with the addition of transfer running back Kay'Ron Lynch-Adams, aiming to enhance their rushing attack significantly for the upcoming season.
