Ke'Shawn Vaughn
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Ke'Shawn Vaughn has played for three head coaches across four seasons and two programs. A game that shows it: 140 rushing yards and 53 receiving yards against UNLV — Week 7, 2019.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 24.3% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 23.7% of his carries. 6 carries for 13 yds vs Tennessee; 15 for 140 vs UNLV.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
