RB Ezekiel Elliott (All B1G, All-American, National Champion, Pro Bowl, All Pro, Dallas Cowboys)

If he stays healthy he has a good chance to leave tOSU as a legend.

boom was pretty top heavy and didn't really have a lot of lower body build. Eze is already bigger in his base and will only get bigger. I think next year will be much more by committee then people think.

If "by committee" you mean some combination of Cardale Jones, Barrett, Eze, and Wilson

Elliot will undoubtedly be stronger which is what I am looking forward to. Next season he has to have that Carlos mentality of never having a negative yardage carry- always fall forward.

You don't mean Eddie George? Eddie played at 6'3 230+, and EzE is closer to 6ft 210. Not exactly the same size. Much closer to Boom.
But regardless, I wish EzE all the success in the world and can't wait to see the competition for RB next year, just sick depth. Losing Hyde will be huge, but I'm hoping we find a guy to step up to the plate.

Hi guys!!! Ezekiel is closer to 6'1" and weighs 222, and still just as fast. He hasn't weighed 210 since June. Coach Marotti is the real deal! #GoBucks

Oh, I think we knew he was just as fast ...

Great having you here on the Planet, Dawn!

Thanks so much for straghtening me out Dawn, lol
I can't wait to see Ezekial be able to earn a starting spot on the team next year! He has all the talent in the world and seems like a mature, well grounded young man. Go Bucks!

 

[Dawn Elliott]

I think there are a lot of places that show him as 210. He definitely isn't Eddie George's playing size though. I doubt Ezekiel reaches 6'3".

So excited and pumped up for this game on 1/3/14!!! #GoBucks #BeatClemson

I think the comparison is more as to the on-field presence they seem to share than strictly physical measurements. I can certainly see the comparison with Eddie much more than Boom. Looking for a terrific career from Mr. Elliott. We're fortunate to have him.

Herman expects the Buckeyes to be better at receiver and for Ezekiel Elliott to emerge as the top running back after a solid freshman season. The biggest sting, he added, will be replacing the experienced linemen.

I do think Elliot will emerge as the "main man" at RB (especially if Herman predicts it....); however Ball, Smith, and Dunn should be in the mix too. It will be interesting to see Dunn after his red-shirt year; I expect to see him "much improved" from the 2012 season. I don't see Jones or Barrett moving to RB though; I don't think they want the backup QBs to take any additional pounding and/or risk injury.
