Javorius Allen

Allen might be one of the top running back talents in the country, as the 6-foot-1, 215-pounder showed a three-down, workhorse-like skill set in 2013, running for 774 yards (5.8 YPC) and 14 touchdowns while catching 22 passes for 252 yards and another touchdown. He started the year deep on the USC bench behind all of Silas Redd, Tre Madden and Justin Davis, however, and it wasn't until those three were hurt that Allen finally got his chance. Although Allen hit it out of the park in his audition, posting 637 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground in the final six weeks, adding 19 catches for 243 yards and a score over that span, Madden and Davis will be back and stealing snaps in 2014. All three players look like elite talents, which means it will be difficult for any of the trio to pull away from the others.
