There are a number of elite Group of Five running backs making the jump to the Power Four level, and Fluff Bothwell is one of the best of them. He came up just shy of 1,000 yards for the South Alabama Jaguars but averaged 7.5 yards per carry while leading the Sun Belt with 13 rushing touchdowns and earning CSN Freshman All-American honors.
His speed makes him difficult to track down in the open field, and his contact balance ensures broken tackles are commonplace. The Mississippi State Bulldogs' offense got a lot more exciting with his offseason acquisition.
