Running backs profile: 2018 Sun Belt MVP Evans leads talented group of running backs

Junior running back Darrynton Evans prepares to take a handoff from junior quarterback Zac Thomas in App State's 42-7 win over East Tennessee State on Aug. 31.

The boys are back and as lethal as ever. The App State running back corps is made up of juniors Darrynton Evans, Marcus Williams Jr., sophomore Daetrich Harrington, and redshirt freshman Camerun Peoples.

The group is led by Evans, who was the 2018 Sun Belt MVP. Don’t blink when Evans is on the field; he had six carries of at least 50 yards last season. Evans averaged 6.6 yards per carry last season and finished the year with 1,187 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns.
