Catalon and James appear on the watch list for the Doak Walker Award, presented to the nation's top running back. TCU is one of just nine schools with more than one player on the list.
With 582 yards last season, Catalon became the first true freshman to top TCU in rushing since Lonta Hobbs in 2002. Catalon had the highest rushing total by a Horned Frog true freshman since Aaron Brown ran for 758 yards in 2005.
James led TCU in rushing in 2011 with 875 yards on a 7.2 per carry average. His 2012 campaign was cut short due to a season-ending injury in week two at Kansas. At the time, James had rushed for a team-best 168 yards with a 9.9 per carry mark.
James' career average of 6.9 yards per attempt ranks first in TCU history.
As a redshirt freshman, James picked up the key first down in the final minute that enabled TCU to run out the clock and seal its 2011 Rose Bowl victory over Wisconsin.
Green was a Parade All-American and 5-star running back at San Antonio Madison High School. After playing as a true freshman at Nebraska, he sat out last season at TCU per NCAA transfer rules.
Green ran for 105 yards and two touchdowns for the Cornhuskers in 2011.
Jordan Moore (6-3, 221, So.) also figures into the mix at tailback. A prized recruit out of Lithonia, Ga., Moore saw action on special teams as a true freshman last season. He was also at safety and linebacker before being moved to offense during bowl game preparations.
True freshmen Kyle Hicks (5-10, 190, Fr.) and Trevorris Johnson (5-11, 205, Fr.) will push for immediate playing time.
