In this episode of our Breakout Buckeyes series, we spotlight second-year running back James Peoples, who's poised to take over the Ohio State backfield in 2025.

With TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins off to the NFL, Peoples steps into the spotlight — and he won't be alone. We break down how West Virginia transfer CJ Donaldson fits into the Buckeyes' two-back rotation, and why this 1-2 punch could be one of the best in college football.

From Peoples' 2024 flashes to his 2025 expectations, we've got everything you need to know about the Buckeyes' new RB1-A.
