Today’s edition of the WRNL position previews covers one of the most talented positions on the roster -- running backs.
Talent
One of the most exciting and talented players to put on a Cyclone uniform last season was redshirt freshman Mike Warren. The now-sophomore didn’t really emerge until the third game of the season against, interestingly enough, Matt Campbell’s Toledo squad. Over the final 10 games of the 2015 season, Warren rushed for 1,311 yards and found the endzone five times, averaging 5.9 yards per carry.
Outside a handful of standouts, Iowa State doesn’t exactly have a rich history with running backs.
