Jaylen Walton
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. This is his second year in the same backfield at Ole Miss. On tape: 133 rushing yards and 1 reception against Vanderbilt, Week 4, 2015.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 23.2% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 20.4% of his carries. 5 carries for 15 yds vs LSU; 21 for 133 vs Vanderbilt.
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
32.3% of carries overall (140/434) → 27.7% of Q4-with-lead carries (31/112) — 64.5% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
