Ole Miss Running Backs Ranked No. 5 Nationally by PFF
6/25/2024 | Football
OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss football head coach Lane Kiffin is accustomed to having a strong stable of running backs, and he's built one of the deepest RB corps in college football for the Rebels in 2024.
Pro Football Focus ranked the top 10 running back groups in college football, ranking the Rebels at No. 5 in the nation.
"Even after losing a superstar in Quinshon Judkins to Ohio State, Ole Miss still places in the top five of this list thanks to one of the deeper rooms in the country," wrote PFF's Max Chadwick. "Ulysses Bentley IV will take over as the lead back and was one of the 25 most valuable running backs in the nation last year according to our wins above average metric. That's despite serving as the No. 2 halfback to Judkins."
Ulysses Bentley IV is the highest graded returning running back in the SEC, but he won't be alone. The Rebels added Logan Diggs out of LSU, Rashad Amos out of Miami (Ohio) and former Rebel Henry Parrish Jr. who transferred back from Miami (Fla.), among several other options in the backfield.
