The 2026 Big 12 rushing touchdowns race stays tightly bunched because multiple programs feature productive backfields and dual-threat quarterbacks posting comparable scoring rates through mid-October. West Virginia’s Michael Hawkins Jr. leads with 14 rushing scores while Cam Cook adds seven more for the Mountaineers; Utah’s Wayshawn Parker, Cincinnati’s Cole Tabb, and Iowa State’s Aiden Flora each sit in the six-to-eight range. Recent conference games have produced multi-touchdown outings from several of these players, and Texas Tech’s Cameron Dickey remains sidelined by a high-ankle sprain that could alter his team’s ground-game distribution. With roughly half the season remaining and no dominant leader established, remaining schedule strength, injury updates, and weekly usage trends continue to keep implied probabilities clustered among the top candidates.
