Anthony Tyus III
Just keeps getting the ball, series after series. Played for three head coaches at two programs in four seasons: Pat Fitzgerald, David Braun and Tim Albin. The first one came in 2024: All-MAC. On tape: 203 rushing yards and 3 receiving yards against Syracuse, Week 1, 2024.
Play style
Built to take 20+ carries per game. Volume is the value.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 15.1% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 16.5% of his carries. 8 carries for 15 yds vs Miami (OH); 14 for 153 vs Syracuse.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share
Not actually a closer
42.6% of carries overall (229/538) → 29.3% of Q4-with-lead carries (43/147) — 79.1% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
