Tre Watson
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Three head coaches in five seasons, at two different programs. One game to point at: 91 rushing yards and 6 receiving yards against Georgia — Bowl, 2018.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 15.4% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 14.1% of his carries. 5 carries for 6 yds vs Oklahoma State; 18 for 91 vs Georgia.
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
34.8% of carries overall (184/529) → 35.5% of Q4-with-lead carries (39/110) — 76.9% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
