Reggie Corbin: RB · Illinois · #2.
Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Reggie Corbin
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Fourth year in the Illinois backfield. The first one came in 2019: All-Big Ten. A game that shows it: 144 rushing yards and 1 reception against Eastern Michigan — 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 29.2% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 23.8% of his carries. 7 carries for -10 yds vs Northwestern; 18 for 144 vs Eastern Michigan.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.

Who gets the tough yard
