Better Know a Position Group: Running Backs

• Set the school record for touchdowns in a game when he scored six against Southern Utah. 
• Led all running backs with 444 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns during last season. 
 
Ford on Johnson: "Roshaun has played a lot of football here in the Kibbie Dome. He is a bigger back that does everything well. He's got really good vision, he's got great pace and very soft hands. He is an all-around back that can be on the field first through third down."

• Saw action in 10 games last fall. He totaled 231 yards on 59 carries scoring seven touchdowns.
• As a freshman in 2019 he carried the ball 113 time for 615 yards and seven touchdowns. 
 
Ford on Carter: “He is physical and he is an extra big back. He was at 260 pounds when we showed up, but he has worked his tail off and is down to 235. He is a quick-footed guy that runs with a lot of power. We will for sure use him on short yardage stuff, but he runs really well so he can really take advantage first through third down.”

• Saw action in all 11 games last fall. He totaled 373 yards 
• Dual threat back averaged 10 yards per reception out of the backfield.  
 
Ford on Cummings: “Eli is a guy that is very twitchy. He is very powerful. He has great feet and he is EXPLOSIVE. He catches the ball really well out of the backfield. He is probably the best route runner among the running backs. I look forward to him being a big-play threat for us this year.”

• Saw limited action in the fall of 2021, totaling 46 yards on eight carries. 
 
Ford on Romano: “Nick is our Swiss Army Knife. He is one of the strongest guys on our team and provides some great versatility. He can be used on first through third down but can also going to be big for us on special teams.”

• He rushed for 1,580 yards and 24 touchdowns his senior season
• Was named Back of the Year Honors and earned All-CIF recognition
 
Ford on Woods: “Anthony is big-time recruit for us. He is explosive, in the spring he ran a 10.87 in the 100-meter dash. He is a big play guy and when he becomes more comfortable with the offense and learns what to do, he is going to be a home run hitter for us.”

• In high school, Elstad rushed for over 1100 yards and scored nine touchdowns. 
• He is a dual threat back, catching 54 passes for 565 yards and four scores. 
 
Ford on Elstad: “All Trent has done since I got here is gotten bigger, stronger and faster. He has good feet and has improved his change of direction from spring to fall.”
