It's still to be determined. While the spring was informative, the summer and August camp will tell the tale of the depth chart, and that competition might last into the season.
Phil Mafah and his 561 rushing attempts for 2,887 yards and 28 touchdowns are headed to the NFL, leaving the Tigers with a bit of an experience vacuum at running back heading into the 2025 season. Keith Adams has the most experience (44 career carries), followed by the 43 carries earned by Jay Haynes last season.
