Aston Walter

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
Feast or famine
36.0% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — and he's stuffed on 18.8% of his carries. 3 carries for 6 yds vs UTEP; 18 for 165 vs Wake Forest.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
