LeVante Bellamy
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Played for two head coaches at Western Michigan: P.J. Fleck and Tim Lester. Named All-MAC two seasons running, most recently in 2019. A game that shows it: 192 rushing yards and 3 rushing TD against Georgia State — Week 3, 2019.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 21.2% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 19.6% of his carries. 15 carries for 44 yds vs Michigan State; 15 for 192 vs Georgia State.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
