This summer the Mountain West Connection crew is counting down the top 50 players heading into the 2014 Mountain West season. The criteria is objective because a top 50 list could be considered who's the best is different per person, so this list will vary.
No. 46 player in our countdown is Nevada Wolf Pack running back Kendall Brock. Brock had a solid year with 812 yards and 10 touchdowns, but form the pistol offense the leading rusher should be over 1,000 yards. Plus, Brock could be more consistent as he was up and down all year with games where he rushed for under 60 yards four different times, yet cracked the 100-yard mark two other times.
If the Nevada offense, and Brock, can be more consistent then he has the chance to be one of the better running backs this year.
Here is the updated list of our top 50 countdown with the current selection in bold:
