Top 10 running backs for the 2024 college football season
2. Omarion Hampton, North Carolina
Hampton might not have the name recognition as some of the others on this list, but it is not because of his play. He had 1,504 yards last season with 15 touchdowns. Don McCauley holds the Tar Heel single-season rushing-yard record with 1,720 yards in 1970, but that could be threatened by Hampton this year. He is projected to be one of the first running backs taken in the 2025 NFL Draft.
UNC RB Omarion Hampton has great vision and elusiveness in the hole with strong legs that keep moving through contact.
One of the best RBs in an absolutely stacked 2025 class.
