Don Jackson
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Second year in the Nevada backfield. One game to point at: 152 rushing yards against New Mexico — Week 6, 2015.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share
The closer
42.7% of carries overall (225/527) → 39.7% of Q4-with-lead carries (27/68) — 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.
