Omar Mabson II is Auburn’s rising, tackle-breaking RB2 with breakout upside
In the 2025 season, Omar Mabson II flashed as a compact, physical Auburn back, playing in 10 games and totaling 71 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, plus 42 receiving yards on four catches. The big differentiators: he runs with real contact balance and shows useful hands out of the backfield, while Auburn sources noted he produced 54 yards after contact in 2025 and caught 4 of 5 targets. At 5-9, 215, he looks like a sturdy, dependable fit for a committee or change-of-pace role, with preseason buzz suggesting his workload could climb in 2026.
