RB Devin Neal – Kansas

The biggest bright spot for Kansas a year ago was beating Texas in Austin, and Devin Neal was a big part of that.

Neal finished the 2021 season with 707 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns, which got him on the Big 12 Preseason Third-Team Offense.

The 5-foot, 11-inch back had three 100-yard games last season, which came against Duke, Oklahoma, and Texas. We don’t expect much out of Kansas in 2022, but the Sooners will have to maintain Devin Neal, and his ability to bust out big runs.
