Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Jaiden Credle
Wins in space out of the backfield. Played for three head coaches at two programs in three seasons: Thomas Hammock, Rick Stockstill and Derek Mason. On tape: 125 rushing yards and 16 receiving yards against Duke, Week 4, 2024.
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
34.2% of the season's rushing yards came on the 5 best carries — and the back is stuffed on 25.5% of carries. 8 carries for 15 yds vs Ole Miss; 12 for 125 vs Duke.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
