Re'Mahn Davis
Hits the crease and outruns the angle. Played for three head coaches across five seasons and three programs. A game that shows it: 280 rushing yards and 9 receiving yards against Florida — Week 5, 2023.
Play style
Cuts upfield fast. Designed to find the crease, not run through the line.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 22.0% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 18.9% of his carries. 12 carries for 26 yds vs Alabama; 26 for 280 vs Florida.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share
Not actually a closer
63.4% of carries overall (194/306) → 50.9% of Q4-with-lead carries (27/53) — 51.9% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
