Who will be Big 12's 1,000-yard rushers in 2017?

Seven Big 12 running backs and one quarterback rushed for more than 1,000 yards last season. Five of the eight are back in 2017.

Will they repeat their 1,000-yard rushing seasons? And who might be able to join them?

Here's our prediction:

1. Justice Hill, Oklahoma State: A no-brainer. Hill serves as the primary ball carrier for the most complete offense in the Big 12. He shared time with Chris Carson and others last year as a true freshman, rushing for 1,142 yards, but now the primary job to move the chains and keep the defense honest against quarterback Mason Rudolph belongs to Hill.
