Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
La'Damian Webb
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Played for two head coaches across three seasons and two programs. All-Sun Belt in 2023 made it two straight seasons on the honors list. On tape: 163 rushing yards and 32 receiving yards against Arkansas State, Week 11, 2023.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 21.1% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 10.3% of his carries. 12 carries for 36 yds vs James Madison; 27 for 176 vs Arkansas State.
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
42.2% of carries overall (182/431) → 26.2% of Q4-with-lead carries (17/65) — 64.7% 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
