Play style
Short-yardage and goal-line specialist. Carries the load, owns the red zone.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 15.0% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 12.2% of his carries. 15 carries for 33 yds vs Baylor; 29 for 266 vs Virginia.
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
55.9% of carries overall (250/447) → 51.9% of Q4-with-lead carries (55/106) — 81.8% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
