Continuing our position preview series this week, we will place our focus on the running backs. The ground and pound style that Boise State prefers to play was not feasible last year with lingering injuries to George Holani and the offensive line lacking in production. Andy Avalos didn’t emphasize recruiting the skill positions as much this cycle, but he did land versatile runner Ashton Jeanty out of Texas.
Projected Starter
George Holani (Redshirt Junior)
After breaking onto the scene as a freshman and winning the Mountain West Freshman of the Year award, nagging injuries have prevented him from having a second 1,000 yard season.
