BYU Football Positional Preview: Running Backs and Fullbacks

BYU enters a transitional period at running back. Gone is their record-setting running back from the previous two years in Tyler Allgeier. He is now competing for snaps with the Atlanta Falcons of the NFL after being a fifth-round pick.

After losing Allgeier, BYU got an injection of talent by nabbing Cal transfer Christopher Brooks. There are plenty of young backs in the running back room gunning for a chance at more playing time.

Let’s take a look at the depth charts at both running back and fullback.

Possible Starters

Christopher Brooks

The Oceanside, California native collected over 1,700 rushing yards over four years in Berkley, including 914 yards and eight touchdowns in 2019.
