2023 Rush/Rec Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Neal followed up his impressive freshman debut in 2021 with a successful 1,000-yard rushing effort which earned the sophomore third-team conference honors last year. He was far more efficient behind a strong offensive line in 2022 at 6.06 yards per carry which ranked fourth in the conference for running backs with at least 50 carries. The only backs who were better were Eric Gray (6.41), Kendre Miller (6.25), and Bijan Robinson (6.12). All those backs moved on to the play on Sundays, so there’s a chance Neal can be one of the best in the conference. While Neal will certainly split carries with Daniel Hishaw, it shouldn’t worry fans much as Kansas’ offense will be one of the best in the conference. Neal and Hishaw will run behind a great offensive line which includes four returning starters and former five-star lineman Logan Brown transferring in from Wisconsin. Read Past Outlooks
Back to Kansas for 2024
Neal will be back to Kansas for the team's 2024 season, per his announcement Thursday.
ANALYSIS
In 2022, Neal logged 1,273 scrimmage yards (1,090 rushing and 183 receiving) and 10 touchdowns (all but one passing) across his 13 games for Kansas. It would have been understandable if the running back failed to surpass his 2022 numbers during 2023, but he successfully did so in stride. Neal finished that year with 1,497 scrimmage yards (1,280 rushing and 217 receiving) and 17 touchdowns. Now with multiple seasons of 1,000-plus rushing yards and 10-plus TDs, Neal is a proven commodity with high expectations to be set for 2024.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Neal burst on to the scene during his true freshman season with 707 yards and eight touchdowns to go along with 57 yards and a score on seven catches, including a season-high 143 yards and three touchdowns in the Week 11 upset at Texas. There's little doubt he'll start leading the way in Lance Leipold's run-first offensive scheme, but he will have some competition with Minnesota transfer, Ky Thomas, and Nebraska transfer, Sevion Morrison. Expect Neal, Thomas and Morrison to all receive significant work during the 2022 season.
