The Panthers return 18 starters from last year's squad that won a school-record eight games, capped by a dominating 52-10 win over Ball State in the TaxAct Camellia Bowl for the program's second straight bowl victory. A big part of that success has been the Georgia State rushing attack as the duo of Gregg and Williams combined for 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2021, helping the Panthers rank No. 8 in FBS in rushing with 226.4 yards per game.

After leading the team with 953 yards (third in the Sun Belt) and nine touchdowns last fall, Gregg is the No. 3 rusher in GSU history with 1,560 yards. Williams adds speed and explosiveness, rushing for 859 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging a school-record 6.71 yards per carry, the sixth-best mark in FBS. The former cornerback has gained 1,112 yards in 21 games since moving to offense midway through the 2020 season.
