1. Quinshon Judkins, Ole Miss

— Coming off a 1,500-yard season as a freshman, his ceiling is off the charts, and he’s clearly the big dog in the SEC this season.

Oct 29, 2022; College Station, Texas, USA; Mississippi Rebels running back Quinshon Judkins (4) runs the ball against Texas A&M Aggies defensive back Tyreek Chappell (7) in the first half at Kyle Field.

2. Raheim Sanders, Arkansas

— Rocket is back, coming off a 1,400-yard season that a lot of people outside of Fayetteville might not have noticed.

Oct 1, 2022; Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA; Arkansas Razorbacks running back Raheim Sanders (5) rushes in the second quarter against the Alabama Crimson Tide at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

3. Jarquez Hunter, Auburn

— I’ve liked Hunter better than Tank Bigsby for a while, and now we get to see if he can be better as RB1.

Auburn Tigers running back Jarquez Hunter (27) carries for a touchdown during the fourth quarter against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

4. Montrell Johnson Jr., Florida

— The depth at RB at Florida might keep his numbers down again, but he’s a churner who should reach 1,000 yards this season.

— Like Johnson, his numbers won’t wow you, but climbing above 1,000 yards this season should happen.
