2025 state of the position: Toledo running backs

This is the sixth story of a seven-part series breaking down position groups on the University of Toledo’s roster entering the 2025 season.

What a difference a year makes.

After employing one of the most productive rushing attacks in the country in 2023, the Rockets plummeted to one of the least productive in 2024. Now, with the addition of Kentucky/Ohio State/Arizona State transfer Chip Trayanum, there’s reason to believe UT will surge this season.

“I feel like we can be the true cornerstone of this offense,” running backs coach Nate Cole said.

If that comes to fruition, wins in bunches are almost certain to follow.
