Auburn completely rebuilt its offense in the transfer portal, but no position gained more production than running back. The Tigers already return Jeremiah Cobb, who rushed for 969 yards (5.5 ypc) in 2025, but added three more experienced and productive running backs out of the portal. He rushed for 788 yards and six touchdowns in 2025, but tallied over 1,000 yards in the previous season. In 2025, no USF running back had more than 98 carries but three had more than 70. He rushed for 612 yards and seven touchdowns in 2025, and Golesh thinks his best may still be yet to come.
