Dreamius Smith

With Charles Sims off to the NFL, it might be tempting to single out Smith as a potential breakout player in 2014. He was a change-of-pace runner behind Sims last year, offering a more bruising running style at 5-foot-11, 217 pounds, and he might be the favorite to emerge as West Virginia's top runner in 2014. The problem is that Smith wasn't as efficient as you'd hope as an off-the-bench runner last year, and West Virginia has at least four other running backs who should fit prominently into the 2014 offense. Former blue chip recruit and Pittsburgh transfer Rushel Shell is the most obvious threat to Smith's workload, but there's also Dustin Garrison, Wendell Smallwood and Andrew Buie.
