The University of Cincinnati Bearcats did not have a 1,000-yard rusher last season as Charles McClelland led the pack with 861 yards in 13 games. The previous year Cleveland Browns draft pick Jerome Ford led UC with 1,242.
In 2018 and 2019, Michael Warren II ran for 1,329 and 1,265 yards, respectively. Under new coach Scott Satterfield's run-pass-option, several running backs are vying for carries to get to "a grand". The most productive of the group from last season is Corey Kiner who transferred from LSU last spring after initially joining the Tigers out of Roger Bacon High School.
