Joey Iosefa: RB · Hawai'i · #7.
Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Joey Iosefa
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. One game to point at: 219 rushing yards and 3 receiving yards against UNLV — Week 13, 2014.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 26.7% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 13.3% of his carries. 19 carries for 54 yds vs Oregon State; 34 for 213 vs UNLV.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
