J.K. Dobbins Set to Become Ohio State's Feature Back with Mike Weber Heading to the NFL

Buckle up, J.K. Dobbins. It’s about to be your show.

Mike Weber announced his decision Sunday night to forgo his redshirt senior season at Ohio State and enter the 2019 NFL draft following the Rose Bowl, surprising virtually no one. Many people expected him to enter the draft after last season, but the running back decided to come back for one more season at the collegiate level.

Weber and Dobbins split carries during the 2017 season, then rotated again this season, though Dobbins had 93 more carries than Weber last season and has 66 more rushes than his counterpart this season.
