Ish Witter
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Four seasons at Missouri, two different head coaches: Gary Pinkel and Barry Odom. A game that shows it: 216 rushing yards and 9 receiving yards against Tennessee — Week 11, 2017.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 14.1% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 11.2% of his carries. 5 carries for 8 yds vs Georgia; 24 for 216 vs Tennessee.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
