ESPN ranks Michigan RB Jordan Marshall as top breakout star for 2025 with Justice Haynes
Not only do you get better at football by playing football, but as former Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh had once noted, players make their biggest jumps from the first game to the second, and also from their first year to their second. And one projected starter (though he'll be splitting time) is about to get that big test in two different ways. Redshirt freshman running back Jordan Marshall spent most of 2024 injured, and though he saw some early time on special teams and one carry against Ohio State, he didn't really get much time until the ReliaQuest Bowl against Alabama when he rushed for an impressive 100 yards. Now, he's expected to be a co-starter along with Crimson Tide transfer Justice Haynes, and Michigan fans are salivating at his potential after seeing what he did in the bowl game. But the fans aren't alone. Even ESPN is getting into the mix. Coming up with a list on Wednesday, ranking the top second-year breakout players in 2025 across college football, Marshall ended up being ranked second of the 11 players who made the cut, just behind projected OSU QB starter Julian Sayin. 2. Jordan Marshall, RB, Michigan We got a taste of what Marshall brings to the table at the ReliaQuest Bowl. The No. 7 back in the 2024 ESPN 300, he went for 100 yards on 23 carries in the first and only start of his young career. The former Ohio Mr. Football will team up with Alabama transfer Justice Haynes in the Wolverines backfield. Early in preseason camp, it appears the reps will be shared, with Haynes as 1a and Marshall 1b. Marshall is elusive in tight quarters, fast in the open field and powerful on contact with a low center of gravity. He boasted the top verified shuttle (5-10-5) out of high school with 4.1 seconds, which would have been second among running backs at this year's NFL combine. Of course, the Wolverines, looking to revamp their offense, will be hoping that the tandem of Marshall and Haynes gets the maize and blue back to the 2021-23 years where Hassan Haskins, Blake Corum, and Donovan Edwards thrived in the ground game. However, last year, despite some flashes, Edwards and Kalel Mullings failed to recapture the ground game dominance of the years past. Of the second-year players on the Wolverines, Marshall is likely the highest profile, but right tackle Andrew Sprague and edge rusher Dominic Nichols could be equally as impactful, though the latter is expected to be more of a reserve, while the former will be a starter.

Tennessee running back 'has done an elite job' since transferring ahead of 2025 season
No. 18 Tennessee kicked off fall training camp on July 30. Rankings reflect the US LBM Coaches Poll. The Vols held their first scrimmage on Aug. 9 at Neyland Stadium after seven practices at Haslam Field. Following Tennessee's first scrimmage in fall camp, fifth-year head Josh Heupel discussed Duke senior transfer running back Star Thomas and his progression from spring practices. 'He's a dramatically different player,' Heupel said. 'Just his body, his movement, explosiveness, his physicality with the ball and without the ball. Some of the details and fundamentals that it takes in pass protection, special teams as well, he has done an elite job from the end of spring ball to where we are through practice eight.' The 6-foot, 210-pound running back recorded 871 yards and seven touchdowns on 213 rushing attempts in 2024 for the Blue Devils. He also totaled 20 receptions for 153 yards and one touchdown. Thomas transferred to Duke after playing at New Mexico State from 2022-23. He recorded 1,173 rushing yards, nine rushing touchdowns, 34 receptions, 351 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns at New Mexico State. Thomas began his collegiate career at Coffeyville Community College in 2021.

2025 New Mexico State Football Predictions: Aggies Ranked 122nd in RJ Young's Ultimate 136
College Football 2025 New Mexico State Football Predictions: Aggies Ranked 122nd in RJ Young's Ultimate 136 Published Aug. 10, 2025 9:42 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link This isn't your average college football ranking. My Ultimate 136 is a set of rankings that is fluid, but it's my job to look ahead and make a claim for all FBS teams based on what I know and why I know it. Here are the three pressing questions I started by asking when putting together this list: Who do I think is good? Why do I think they're good? What are the chances they will finish above or below my expectations? Here is a look at where New Mexico State lands in my Ultimate 136. New Mexico State ranking: 122 Last year's ranking: 122 Top player: LB Tyler Martinez: Started all 12 games last season and led the Aggies in total tackles (96), solo tackles (47); finished Second Team All C-USA. [ New Mexico State's 2025 schedule ] RJ's take: Tony Sanchez's Aggies couldn't score with any consistency in 2024. In fact, New Mexico State scored 28 points or more just five times and won just three games last year. ADVERTISEMENT They could at least run the ball then. Now, with six of the seven offensive linemen who played the most snaps for him gone, that's not necessarily going to be NMSU's strength in 2025. [ Check out RJ Young's Ultimate 136 College Football Rankings here ] New Mexico State Win Total Odds: Over 4.5 (-144) Under 4.5 (+118) Have an issue with my rankings?
