Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Larry Rose III
Wins in space out of the backfield. He arrived as a 2-star recruit and has four seasons of production at New Mexico State behind him. On tape: 144 rushing yards and 40 receiving yards against UTEP, Week 4, 2017.
Play style
Deployed as a receiver as much as a runner. Value is in space, not between the tackles.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 17.9% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 17.7% of his carries. 8 carries for 25 yds vs Arkansas; 17 for 144 vs UTEP.
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
57.5% of carries overall (185/322) → 50.0% of Q4-with-lead carries (29/58) — 79.3% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
