Nick Chubb, Soph., RB, Georgia

This preseason All-American ran for 1517 yards during his freshman year and averaged 7.1 yards per carry. Chubb scored 14 touchdowns and had eight 100-yard rushing games in 2014.

After being named the SEC Freshman of the Year, look for Chubb to be the SEC Player of the year and out of these 15 players have the best chance of taking home the Maxwell hardware. Chubb is the real deal and he better rack up all the stats and awards he can because the NFL will come knocking as soon as the 2015 season is over.
