Bryant Koback

Koback is the lead dog in a dangerous Toledo rushing attack that also features Shakif Seymour. The 6-0, 205-pound Koback burst onto the scene as a freshman in 2018 with 14 rushing touchdowns and he backed it up in 2019 with 1,187 yards and 12 rushing scores. Though Seymour will still command plenty of carries, Koback has a very real chance at providing 200 carries worth of high-efficiency touches as he's averaged 6.0 YPC over 348 career totes. His lone drawback is his lack ofreceiving production (10 career receptions), but that can be overlooked when Koback is finding the end zone and racking up yardage at exceptional rates.

Koback entered the year buried on the depth chart but managed to work his way into a lead role over some more experienced players and took advantage of the opportunity. His 14 rushing touchdowns tied for second among MAC running backs and his 5.99 YPC ranked fifth in the conference. Art Thompkins is gone, which leaves one less roadblock for Koback to contend with for carries. Koback will cede work to Shakif Seymour but is still expected to have the starting job for a Toledo offense that stands to be one of the best in the conference and perhaps the nation.
