Fall camp is right around the corner, which means the football season is close. Breaking down Utah's 2019 football team, position by position, based on burning questions for each spot. Today, we ask the burning questions around the running back position.

Previous position groups:

Quarterback

1. Is the question "if" or "when" Zack Moss sets the all-time career rushing yards AND touchdown records?

The career rushing yards mark at Utah is currently owned by Eddie Johnson, who ran for 3,219 yards during his time. Zack Moss enters his seniors season with 2,651 yards under his belt, that's a difference of 568 yards, a mark that is certainly attainable through an entire season. With how good Moss has been in his career, it's not out of the question for him to hit that mark within the first half of the season. In 2018, that 568 yard-mark would have been attained in the Arizona game in the middle of October. As a team under Andy Ludwig, the Commodores hit that mark in the fourth game of the season. So, it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility that Moss owns the rushing yards record by the end of September.

In regards to touchdowns, Moss currently has 23 rushing touchdowns to his name, while Del Rodgers sits atop the rest with 31 career rushing touchdowns. That also is a fairly attainable record, and one that could be had sooner that most expect.

Moss is one of the most talented players to have come through the program at any position. He's provided plenty of highlight moments and lead the Utes to a number of victories. Be sure to appreciate everything a bit more this season.

2. What to expect of former four-star recruit, Jordan Wilmore?

The answer is simple -- hopefully, a lot.

Wilmore, who was one of the premier running backs in the 2019 class, and gives Utah even more big-play ability in the backfield. His recruitment came down to the wire and included UCLA, ASU, and Utah before he committed to the Utes on signing day.

He has yet to suit up in the jersey and pads, but the coaches were rather bullish when talking about Wilmore during spring camp, even the head man Kyle Whittingham. There are high expectations for him -within reason for a true freshman- and he's been hard at work to prepare himself for the season.

However, the competition isn't just going to lay down for Wilmore either. Devontae Henry-Cole is back from a redshirt season and looked fantastic throughout spring camp, so much so there was a fairly defined separation between he and the rest of the group. While TJ Green, and Devin Brumfield all return and look to build on the moments and flashes of their potential from last season.

3. So, what happens with the No. 3 running back spot?

Moss is the clear-cut No. 1 back. Devontae Henry-Cole made a statement this spring through his play and is most likely the No. 2. That leaves Green, Brumfield, and Wilmore battling it out for the No. 3 spot, which is expected to still see a fair amount of action under Ludwig.

Green returns for his redshirt sophomore season, and spent the off-season adding muscle and size to his frame to better equip himself as runner. He's known for his speed, but if the added muscle has added a bit more explosiveness and power to his game, that could go a long ways to improving his chances.

Brumfield played in seven games last season and was not able to utilize his redshirt. However, he was regarded as the Utes best pass protector at the running back position, which is saying something. He plays a violent style, but possesses quick feet and good athleticism as well, which he showcased throughout spring.

Wilmore enters his freshman campaign, and possesses good athleticism and playmaking ability. What he lacks in experience, he makes up for in potential.

It's going to be a tremendous battle no doubt. The proven ability of Moss, combined with the anticipated return of fellow Florida back Run DHC, as well as the talent and potential of the three young backs, this group is a good as it's ever been at Utah. This group will produce at a high level, the only question is how high.
