The Ohio State Buckeyes football program has had no problem snagging top recruits at the running back position and they have taken that talent and continued to develop them to create absolute studs. As we said previously in our quarterback article, 247Sports only goes back 20 years but we’re looking at the top-rated commits to go to Ohio State during that time. That means no Carlos Snow or Vince Workman and others of course, but still, some insanely talented names are on the list with a few transfers sprinkled in.
A few running backs that just missed the top ten were gems like Ezekiel Elliott, Carlos Hyde, and Daniel “Boom” Herron, but I can assure you that some of the names on this list will take you down memory lane.
