<p class="text-gray-700">Baldini had a good sophomore year after getting his feet wet as a freshman. He's got a solid build with long legs that chew up yardage in a hurry. He's strong enough to finish runs and can break through arm tackles. He's also good out of the backfield and has soft hands. His 81 carries for 685 yards and 14 TDs on the ground, with 5 grabs and 113 yards and 2 TDs through the air, and a 93-yard kickoff return for a TD rounded out his Sophomore year. I anticipate him being the full-time starter and showing what he can do with that workload, but so far, he looks promising.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Guidry is a patient runner who lets his blocks develop before hitting the crease. He finishes runs by fighting for extra yards and doesn't go down easily. He's got very quick short-area burst and enough top-end speed to break away when he gets into the open field. He's got good hands out of the backfield and can be an asset there, too. With his skill set, he's the type of back who can flip the field in one play, and I think he takes that step this fall.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Beste is a powerful back with good size and vision. He's not afraid of contact and will finish runs. He's got good pad level and runs behind his pads. He rushed for 527 yards and 8 TDs last year, but I expect there to be a big jump this fall. He fits the mold of a back who can wear down a defense, and with more carries, I could see him becoming the focal point of an offense.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ridner has a solid, compact build and good vision in traffic. He can find a small lane and shoot through it before the defense closes. He's able to make defenders miss in space, and once he's free, he's got the speed to hit the big one. He had a good sophomore year with 323 yards and 2 touchdowns, and he should take on the starter role this fall. With more touches, he's got a real chance to show just how dangerous he can be.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Brummett is a very smooth athlete who operates freely. His future might be on the baseball field because he's a fairly good pitcher, but he's also good on a football field. He's quick and twitchy. He doesn't chop his feet and finds the lanes immediately. He's a smaller back who can get lost behind traffic as well, and defenses hate losing eyes on the ball carrier. His 335 yards and 11 TDs last season were likely the tip of the iceberg.</p>
