24. Myles Gaskin – RB – Washington Huskies

If his freshman season in 2015 is any indication, we should expect great things from this shifty RB. His 1,302 rushing yards and 14 TDs set true freshman records at Washington. Gaskin is also the first true freshman in school history to rush for 100-plus yards in back-to-back games. He concluded the season by being named MVP in the Heart of Dallas Bowl, rushing for 181 yards and four TDs. His impressive debut earned him a spot on the FWAA (Football Writer’s Association of America) Freshman All-American team.

Standing at 5-foot-9 and weighing 192 pounds, Gaskin is a very elusive back. His quick feet and ability to make defenders miss is a special gift that can take him far, while his talents and intangibles make him a potential SportsCenter highlight waiting to happen on every carry. Some even believe that Myles is a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate for the 2017 season.

Not many people know about Gaskin right now, but there’s a good chance he could become a household name soon. It shouldn’t surprise anyone if he ends up becoming a special player in the NFL. If that happens, then he is a good bet to end up on a future Madden NFL cover.
