Three-year starter. Two-time All-Big 10, first team in 2024. The conference’s rushing leader since the start of 2023. A rocked up, low-to-the-ground power ball who can add a physical element to the backfield. After not fumbling once over his five year, 707-touch career while adding try-hard and effective pass protection, this is an ideal back to have somewhere on the depth chart even if he lacks standout movement and size traits. Excellent footwork and contact balance complement his stout frame that stays close to the ground. A fighter in every sense of the word. At his best in a one-cut scheme where he can fit through a small crease and create momentum. Was not used much as a receiver, but catches the ball naturally. Lacks options in the open field. Does not have a runaway gear and there is a lack of wiggle in his lower half. Short arms will limit his radius and reach in the passing game. Needs to press the hole more consistently, less dancing in the backfield. His style has a knack for sticking around because of the multiple usage options. While he is not blessed with game breaking speed or explosive ability, his blue-collar approach to the game and dependability will belong in a backup role at the next level.
