J.K. Dobbins’ Departure, Marcus Crowley’s Injury Opens Door for Steele Chambers to Climb Ohio State’s Running Back Depth Chart This Spring

Running back is one of Ohio State’s biggest positions of uncertainty entering this spring, but for Steele Chambers, that could open up an opportunity.

J.K. Dobbins is gone after entering the 2020 NFL draft. Master Teague is the frontrunner to replace Dobbins in the starting lineup, but given that Teague has never started a game, the Buckeyes will likely go back to a running back rotation next season. And other than Teague and Chambers, it’s uncertain which other scholarship players will be taking snaps at running back this spring.

Demario McCall could be in that mix, but it’s hard to know where he’ll factor in after he’s bounced back and forth between the running back and H-back positions for the past two years.
