Hits the crease and outruns the angle. Second year in the Arkansas backfield. One game to point at: 185 rushing yards and 3 rushing TD against Kansas State — Bowl, 2015.
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 17.6% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 15.1% of his carries. 12 carries for 26 yds vs Alabama; 23 for 185 vs Kansas State.
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
54.4% of carries overall (268/493) → 34.0% of Q4-with-lead carries (33/97) — 72.7% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
