2011 Top 25 Big Backs

By Staff Report Aug 22, 2010, 4:10pm

Tom Lemming's look at the top 25 Big Backs in the Class of 2011.

Pity the poor defender that is called on to bring one of these bruising runners down. LSU opponents should especially shudder, as the Tigers have two backs in our top five, 5-11, 230-pound Kenny Hilliard and 6-1, 220-pound Jeremy Hill. Along with similar surnames, the two share a state; HIlliard is from Patterson, Louisiana, while Hill is from Baton Rouge.
