Quali Conley: RB · Arizona · #7.
Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Quali Conley
Wins in space out of the backfield. Transferred to Arizona from San José State. On tape: 112 rushing yards and 38 receiving yards against Northern Arizona, Week 2, 2024.
Play style
Deployed as a receiver as much as a runner. Value is in space, not between the tackles.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 27.5% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 24.0% of his carries. 7 carries for -2 yds vs UCF; 17 for 112 vs Northern Arizona.
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
49.2% of carries overall (147/299) → 47.1% of Q4-with-lead carries (24/51) — 70.8% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
