As the 2019 season approaches, SEC Network analyst Cole Cubelic has been taking to Twitter to rank some of the SEC’s position groups.
On Wednesday, he ranked his top five SEC running backs for the 2019 season, and they’re sure to spark plenty of discussion.
As you can see below, he has D’Andre Swift, Ke’Shawn Vaughn, Larry Rountree III, Lamical Perine and Scottie Phillips as his top runners for this fall:
MY top 5 SEC RB’s for 2019:
1) D’Andre Swift – Georgia
2) Ke’Shawn Vaughn – Vanderbilt
3) Larry Rountree – Missouri
4) Lamical Perine – Florida
5) Scottie Phillips – Ole Miss— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) July 11, 2019
Noticeably absent from that list is Alabama RB Najee Harris. You’d better believe the replies are full of Alabama fans calling out Cubelic for leaving Harris off the list:

How about Najee Harris

Najee Harris???

Another notable name left off the list is Mississippi State’s Kylin Hill. However, everyone who made the cut is a great back, so it’s tough to say how Cubelic should have ranked them differently.
