Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 19.8% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 17.7% of his carries. 16 carries for 68 yds vs Coastal Carolina; 35 for 191 vs Gardner-Webb.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share
The closer
50.9% of carries overall (283/556) → 41.5% of Q4-with-lead carries (44/106) — 100.0% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
