Kentrel Bullock is a running back who has not played this season; the last season with a stat line was 2025, at South Alabama.
Bullock does a little of everything without one standout trait. The five seasons span two programs and three head coaches: Lane Kiffin, Kane Wommack and Major Applewhite. The first one came in 2025: All-Sun Belt. One game to point at: 187 rushing yards and 3 rushing TD against Southern Miss — Week 13, 2025.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 10.2% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 10.8% of his carries. 11 carries for 46 yds vs North Texas; 23 for 127 vs Morgan State.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
