NIU’s old-school power back with a tough-yard résumé
In the 2006 season, Cas Prime gave Northern Illinois a reliable bruiser look at running back, finishing as the Huskies’ second-leading rusher with 142 yards on 35 carries while also contributing on special teams[1][2]. Earlier NIU coverage described him as a player the staff had been waiting to “come into his own,” and noted his power-profile build and strength base, which fit a committee attack and short-yardage role[6][7][10]. For a team, he projects as a physical, depth-friendly back who brings effort and utility more than splashy volume[7][10].
