Top Prep Running Back’s in Michigan for the Fall 2021 Season

Running back has become a unique position for evaluators. While they are a key part of most offenses, some teams may completely ignore the running back position in favor of down the field deep threats. While this may be a valid method, many coaches misuse running backs and see them as a one dimensional threat. Getting your backs involved in the passing game can be a valuable asset for your offense. The running back class in Michigan last season was of course headlined by [player_tooltip player_id="77229" first="Donovan" last="Edwards"], but there is a steady mix of talent for the Fall 2021 season. Here are the top 5 running backs in Michigan for the 2021 season:   [player_tooltip player_id="30133" first="Dillon" last="Tatum"] The 5'11 180 pound running back can do it on the ground and through the air. His dynamic abilities land him the top running back spot in Michigan.

Lockhart has garnered interest from Butler and Air Force, with no offers currently. https://www.hudl.com/profile/11252213/Andrew-Lockhart
