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.
