In the 2024 season at Oklahoma, Taylor Tatum flashed real juice as a true freshman, finishing with 278 rushing yards, 3 rushing TDs, and 41 receiving yards with a score, showing enough burst and receiving ability to fit a modern RB room.

The big draw is still his former top-RB recruit pedigree and dual-threat upside; the concern is durability. If you need upside, he’s intriguing—if you need reliability, the medical file matters.
