The ability to shed defenders and perpetuate runs despite opposition has always been a hallmark of elite running backs. College football history witnesses the indomitable spirits of backs like Barry Sanders (Oklahoma State) and Saquon Barkley (Penn State), who not only amassed yards but also spectacularly evaded would-be tacklers, turning potential losses into monumental gains.

Embark below on an exploration of current college running backs who are turning heads with their ability to break tackles and extend plays. Engage with data such as broken tackles, yards after contact, and elusive rating to unravel the narratives of these backs who defy defensive efforts and generate extra yards through sheer determination and skill.
