If you want to dominate with elite halfbacks for a few seasons, the best option is probably the Tennessee Vols. On top of being a high prestige team in a good conference, which will help you out as a new coach in Dynasty Mode, you'll have an extremely fast junior who can carry the load out of the gate and a freshman that could develop into an even more dangerous weapon after a few seasons. If you're running as a QB or wide receiver in Road to Glory, the same will ring true for Tennessee.

For players who want to pair their ground game with one of the fastest quarterbacks in College Football 25, the Oklahoma Sooners are a deadly choice. Gavin Sawchuk is the best speedy back in the game, and the team also has freshman Brendan Zurbrugg with a 90 Speed to anchor quarterback for multiple seasons (especially if you redshirt him). If your favorite team doesn't have one of the fastest running backs in College Football 25, spend some time honing your recruiting skills so you can sign one a few seasons down the line.
