Brandon Stansell brings compact, hard-nosed production to MVSU’s backfield
In the 2012 season, Stansell emerged as a physical, lower-center-of-gravity runner at 5-7, 187 pounds, and his 100-yard effort on 17 carries against Southern showed he could carry a game when given volume. He also earned All-SWAC Second Team recognition after a 757-yard rushing season, signaling reliable production rather than flash. For a team looking for toughness, balance, and a back who can grind between the tackles, he fits as a dependable, high-effort option with proven conference-level impact.[1][2][4]
