Otis Anderson
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Otis Anderson has played for two head coaches in four seasons at UCF. His first career honor landed in 2020: All-AAC. One game to point at: 170 rushing yards and 11 receiving yards against Houston — Week 9, 2020.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 24.7% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 20.3% of his carries. 6 carries for 20 yds vs East Carolina; 16 for 170 vs Houston.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.

Who gets the tough yard
