Space back with return-game juice and a bigger role coming: 868 rushing yards at 5.6, another 35 catches for 388, and a top-six Paul Hornung Award finish in 2025 as Texas Tech's do-everything second back. The receiving volume is the draftable trait — 35 catches from a running back is third-down evidence, not garbage-time noise — and the kick-return usage adds a roster pathway pure runners never get. The problem is the frame: 5-10, 185 is the lightest build in this conversation, he has never carried a lead-back load, and 6 rushing touchdowns on 155 attempts suggests a create-in-space player more than a finisher. He also took injury knocks during the 2025 stretch run. The 2028-class projection is fringe/priority-free-agent with a defined third-down-and-returner niche; a 1,200-yard-from-scrimmage season at even 195 pounds would put him onto Day 3 boards.
