Marteze Waller
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. 2 stars out of high school, two seasons of real snaps at Fresno State since. A game that shows it: 154 rushing yards and 1 reception against Abilene Christian — Week 1, 2015.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 22.2% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 28.5% of his carries. 11 carries for 20 yds vs San Diego State; 22 for 154 vs Abilene Christian.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
