Hinckley Ropati - Shares load in backfieldRopati posted 13 rushes for 57 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-13 victory over Southern Illinois.

ImpactA knee injury thwarted Ropati's 2023 campaign, but he made a full recovery in the offseason. Although he is slated to be the top running back, he share the snaps evenly wit LJ Martin. The lopsided win may be the reason for Martin's increased involvement in the game, but it's reasonable to assume Ropati will get the first crack at carries on a weekly basis.
