Explosive, Productive ASU Back with NFL-Caliber Burst
Ryan Torain was a high-output Arizona State running back who paired volume with efficiency, including 1,229 rushing yards at 5.5 yards per carry and 7 rushing touchdowns in his standout season, plus receiving value out of the backfield. His differentiators were his downhill power, breakaway burst, and ability to create chunk plays, while the main concern around him was durability and a relatively short peak at ASU. For a team, he fit as a featured back who could carry an offense when healthy and produce both inside and in space.[4][3][7]
