Ranking Ohio State running backs by 247Sports composite recruiting ranking

The Ohio State football program has five running backs on scholarship and has the appearance of being super deep. Still, as any Buckeye fan knows, this unit struggled mightily with injuries last season, resulting in both a linebacker and wide receiver taking snaps at the position.

That linebacker we speak of was Chip Trayanum, who was a running back at Arizona State before coming to Columbus. He is named on the list below, but taking snaps in 2022 was not part of the plan. This unit received a significant boost when Miyan Williams announced he was returning to Ohio State, but hopes are high that some of these highly rated guys reach their potential in 2023.
