Following one of the most productive seasons in college football history, Alabama's Derrick Henry is likely headed to the NFL.

And while it will be a chore to replace the Heisman Trophy winner, the next man up for Alabama casts just as imposing a figure as the nation's leading rusher.

Ladies and gentleman, Mr. Bo Scarbrough:

The 6-foot-3, 240-pound freshman saw limited action with the Crimson Tide in 2015, rushing for 104 yards and one touchdown, but with Henry's likely departure to the NFL, expect Scarbrough to become a household name in 2016.

As a teaser, Nick Saban inserted the Alabama native in to the late stages of the Crimson Tide's 38-0 Cotton Bowl blowout of Michigan State, and the results were impressive.

Judging by that footage, it looks like Alabama might be okay without Henry in 2016.
