Bronx, N.Y. – After a day off on Tuesday, the 2019 Fordham football Rams were back on the field on Wednesday for their first day of practice in full pads. And now that the pads are on, we continue our position-by-position look at the 2019 squad as we check out the running backs.
 

Last fall, the Fordham running back unit was hit by injury, with the loss of starter Zach Davis. Davis started the first two games, rushing for 94 yards, before suffering a season-ending injury.
 
Florida transfer Tyriek Hopkins stepped up in Davis' absence to lead the team in rushing, gaining 476 yards and scoring four times while also catching nine passes.
 
Sophomore Naim Mayfield gained valuable experience in his rookie season, picking up 157 yards over eight games with two touchdowns while also recording seven receptions.
 
Also back from last year is sophomore Antonio Cortez Feria, who saw limited action in his freshman season.
 
Newcomers to the offensive backfield include junior Trey Sneed, a transfer from Rutgers who appeared in all eleven games last year for the Scarlet Knights, along with freshman Trey Wilson III, a product of Montclair Kimberley Academy in Montclair, N.J.
