Khalfani Muhammad
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. He has spent three seasons in the California backfield. One game to point at: 165 rushing yards and 3 receiving yards against Oregon State — Week 6, 2016.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 21.2% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 22.4% of his carries. 3 carries for 5 yds vs San Diego State; 21 for 165 vs Oregon State.
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
38.7% of carries overall (152/393) → 56.8% of Q4-with-lead carries (21/37) — 38.1% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
