Time is now for Toledo running backs Thompkins and Seymour

University of Toledo football coach Jason Candle can rattle off the names: Chester Taylor, Jalen Parmele, Wasean Tait, David Fluellan, Adonis Thomas, Kareem Hunt, and Terry Swanson.

The running back position at Toledo has a rich tradition with one big name following in the footsteps of another and often times in recent memory sharing the same backfield.

This season could be time for junior Art Thompkins and sophomore Shakif Seymour to step into the spotlight. As young backs, Thompkins and Seymour were in the same running backs room as guys like Hunt, Swanson, Marc Remy, and Damion Jones-Moore.
