Vincent Davis: RB · UNLV · #5.
Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Vincent Davis
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Played for two head coaches across five seasons and two programs. One game to point at: 97 rushing yards and 18 receiving yards against UTEP — Week 4, 2023.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Feast or famine
31.0% of the season's rushing yards came on the 5 best carries — and the back is stuffed on 11.3% of carries. 6 carries for 15 yds vs Michigan; 12 for 97 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
27.8% of carries overall (140/503) → 23.7% of Q4-with-lead carries (23/97) — 60.9% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
