Carlos Davis: RB · South Alabama · #26.
Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Carlos Davis
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Third year in the same backfield at South Alabama. A game that shows it: 113 rushing yards and 2 receiving yards against Texas State — Week 7, 2020.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 22.0% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 27.9% of his carries. 4 carries for 1 yds vs Troy; 32 for 113 vs Texas State.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
