We predict how the Nebraska Football depth chart will look heading into the preseason.

The running back position for Nebraska football is loaded with talent. There are four players at the position who could easily be the starter come preseason camp. You can never have too much skill, and running back is a position where Nebraska football has a ton of it. They each possess the ability to take over a game, and their speed and versatility are unmatched. With a few weeks in the system and more acclamation to their setting, the newcomers in the Nebraska football backfield could carry this team to great heights.

Combined with the offensive weapons the program has at wide receiver, tight end, and quarterback, the running back position should be another great asset to the team. To have weapons at every single offensive position is certainly a bonus, and if everything goes according to plan, Nebraska football should be a well-rounded group. Offense is certainly something you need in the Big Ten Conference, and Nebraska football will need to execute well in order to compete. The running backs will certainly be a big part of that, especially as the season progresses.

Without further ado, we give our first depth chart predictions for the running back position.
