Alabama’s Jahmyr Gibbs named Doak Walker National Running Back of the Week

He was everything on offense for Georgia Tech, but Jahmyr Gibbs is beefing up his NFL Draft status at Alabama.

The talented transfer showed his elite skill set as a running back versus Arkansas. Gibbs became Alabama’s first 200-yard rusher of the season, totaling 206 yards on 18 carries. He averaged 11.4 yards per rushing attempt, including two 70+ yard scoring runs.

Gibbs spearheaded the Crimson Tide’s 49-26 victory over the Razorbacks with his performance. On Tuesday, the 5-foot-11, 200-pounder earned Doak Walker National Running Back of the Week honors. Walker was one of the greatest backs in college football history from Southern Methodist University.
