Master Teague Heads Into 2020 As Ohio State's RB1

Despite standing just 5-foot-10, J.K. Dobbins cast one hell of a shadow on Ohio State's running back room heading into 2020.

Small in stature, Dobbins' impact on the 2019 season – and Ohio State's record book – will be unmistakable for years to come.

Within that reality, redshirt sophomore Master Teague assuredly has first crack at replacing the departed Dobbins as the starting tailback in Columbus.

Last year, Teague saw action in 13 games for the Buckeyes, churning out 789 rushing yards on 5.8 per carry with four touchdowns. Basically, as a backup, Teague registered the seventh-most rushing yards of any tailback in the Big Ten.
