2. Chuba Hubbard, Running Back

High School: Bev Facey

Hometown: Sherwood Park, AB

Height: 6’1″

Weight: 190

247Sports Composite Rating: three-star

Hubbard committed to Oklahoma State on May 8, 2016. He had 25 offers including Alabama, Oregon, Auburn, Oklahoma, Michigan, USC, and Tennessee. Hubbard was a surprising signing for the Cowboys considering the level of competition for his recruitment, and he seemed to be set on signing with Oregon. He will join an Oklahoma State roster with two Canadian players.

According to 247Sports Composite rankings, Hubbard is the 23rd best running back nationally, and the best running back from Alberta.

Hubbard offers an elite level of speed, considering he is hoping to be an Olympic track runner. His 100 meter time of 10.55 is crazy. Hubbard is truly a sleeper find coming out of Alberta, Canada.

According to Bleacher Report Hubbard said, “college coaches aren’t thinking they’ll find the next Najee Harris or Derrick Henry in Canada”.

His elite acceleration and agility allow him to get to the outside and reach the second level with relative ease. However, Hubbard still has the size and strength to break tackles when necessary.

The Cowboys could have some risk in Hubbard considering he will be a long way from home and had limited exposure up until recently.

Hubbard will sit behind current Oklahoma State running back Justice Hill for a while. But, he is surely to get time through his entire college career.
