Bhayshul Tuten has quickly raced up the depth chart since being selected in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
When his rookie season began, he was listed third at running back behind Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby.
Bigsby was traded after Week 1, moving Tuten up to the No. 2 spot.
During the offseason, Etienne inked a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints, moving Tuten into the likely No. 1 spot.
Here are five things to know about Tuten:
Tuten is just 23 years old, born Feb. 14, 2003.
The No. 1 song in America on that special Valentine’s Day was "All I Have" by Jennifer Lopez, featuring LL Cool J.
The No. 1 album on the US Billboard 200 was "Home" by the Dixie Chicks.
The No. 1 movie was the superhero film “Daredevil,” starring Ben Affleck, which opened that exact day.
The No. 1 TV show was the CBS crime drama, “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.”
During his senior season at Paulsboro High School in New Jersey, Tuten was named theJersey Times offensive player of the year in 2020. He also made the Phil Simms North/South All-Star Game.
Tuten finished his career with 3,768 yards rushing and 77 touchdowns on 429 carries. In addition, he caught 35 passes in his career for 437 yards and seven touchdowns, and returned three kicks and one punt for touchdowns.
Tuten started off his college career at North Carolina A&T. He played there in 2021 and 2022. He rushed 37 times for 215 yards with three touchdowns as a freshman. He rushed for 1,363 yards on 208 carries with 13 touchdowns as a sophomore.
After the 2022 season, Tuten transferred to Virginia Tech. During his junior year in 2023, Tuten started all 13 games and rushed 173 times for 863 yards and 10 touchdowns. As a senior, he rushed 183 times for 1,159 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Tuten was selected in the fourth round with the 104th pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Jaguars had nine picks in the 2025 draft, including second overall pick Travis Hunter.
Tuten was one of two running backs drafted by the Jaguars that year, along with LeQuint Allen, who was taken in the seventh round. Allen is penciled in as the third-strong back heading into the 2026 season.
Tuten rushed for 307 yards with five touchdowns while also tallying 79 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
While Tuten is currently listed as the team’s lead running back, offseason signee Chris Rodriguez Jr. is expected to shoulder a heavy workload, as well.
Allen, as mentioned earlier, is listed at No. 3. He saw limited but regular action last season, primarily as a kick returner, appearing in all 17 games.
Veterans Ameer Abdullah and Deejay Dallas are on the depth chart, as is 2026 draftee J’Mari Taylor.
