Devontae Booker
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Second year in the Utah backfield. On tape: 222 rushing yards and 45 receiving yards against California, Week 6, 2015.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 14.2% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 12.7% of his carries. 14 carries for 62 yds vs USC; 34 for 222 vs California.
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
49.7% of carries overall (265/533) → 45.5% of Q4-with-lead carries (50/110) — 100.0% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
