Pick Analysis. Oklahoma State. player. 856. Scouting Report. RB. Chuba Hubbard. 4

Last week vs. Kansas: 23 att.| 122 yards| 5.3 ypa| 2 TD| 18 Long| 2 receptions| 42 yards| 0 TD

Season Stats: 259 att.| 1,726 yards| 6.7 ypa| 20 TD| 92 Long| 11 receptions| 82 yards| 0 TD

Chuba Hubbard has been nothing short of magnificent this year. That’s why his performance last weekend against Kansas almost feels like a letdown. Let me remind you that he still had over 100 yards and two touchdowns in the game.

Hubbard has been the player many expected to come back down to Earth after a crazy hot start to the season, but that hasn’t really happened. He’s been so good, in fact, that he still leads the nation in rushing yards by nearly 300 yards!

Hubbard also has the second most rushing downs in that country as well. The only reason he isn’t higher on this list is that the three contenders in front of him have also been magnificent and have led their teams to more success this season.

In a very deep class of running backs that are draft eligible, Hubbard continues to stick his nose right in the middle of it all. He will have an interesting and tough decision to make after this season as to return to Oklahoma State or make the jump to the next level.

Hubbard will look to continue his magical season this weekend when the Cowboys travel to West Virginia to take on the Mountaineers. Oklahoma State will then finish the regular season with the big Bedlam rivalry against Oklahoma on November 30th.
