Jase McClellan: RB · Alabama · #2.
Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Jase McClellan
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Fourth year in the Alabama backfield. The first career honor came in 2023: All-SEC. One game to point at: 115 rushing yards and 6 receiving yards against Tennessee — Week 8, 2023.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 15.7% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 10.7% of his carries. 9 carries for 43 yds vs Kentucky; 27 for 119 vs Tennessee.
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
35.5% of carries overall (178/502) → 33.6% of Q4-with-lead carries (45/134) — 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.
