BJ Emmons, James Charles look to fill running back void at FAU

With running backs Devin “Motor” Singletary and Kerrith Whyte both opting to leave Florida Atlantic a year early to enter the NFL draft, a big void was left in the Owls’ backfield. A void of 2,214 rushing yards a season ago.

It’ll be a challenge for FAU to get that kind of production out of its new slate of running backs, but BJ Emmons and James Charles are up for it.

No compatible source was found for this media.

“It’s a new year. We’re going to do it our way now,” said Emmons, a one-time Alabama running back where he played under FAU coach Lane Kiffin when he was offensive coordinator.
