The Boise State running back has carried his team to a 3-1 record, with its one loss coming in narrow fashion 37-34 to No. 6 Oregon in Week 2. His play has even put him firmly on Heisman Trophy watch, as he’s been the most productive running back in college football this season.

The junior has a nation-leading 845 rushing yards with 13 touchdowns on only 82 carries this season, averaging a ridiculous 10.3 yards per carry. His yardage total could be even higher, as he sat out the entire second half of the Broncos’ 56-14 win over Portland State in Week 4.
The former three-star recruit from Lone Star High School in Frisco, Texas, is coming off a career performance against Washington State, taking 26 carries for 259 yards with four touchdowns in the 45-24 win.
