Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 17.7% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 12.0% of his carries. 3 carries for 9 yds vs Florida State; 13 for 167 vs UCF.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share
Not actually a closer
29.5% of carries overall (183/620) → 16.3% of Q4-with-lead carries (23/141) — 73.9% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.

Who gets the tough yard
