Arizona State's Hard-Nosed RB with Rare HS Pedigree
Dimitri Nance, a 3-star recruit from Trinity High School who joined Cedric Benson as only the second Texas 5A back to rush for 3,000+ career yards, brought relentless stability to Arizona State, setting career highs in 2009 with 795 rushing yards (4.2 YPC), 28 catches for 216 yards, and 7 TDs while rarely losing yardage (just -80 yards career). In 2008, he led the Sun Devils with 410 rush yards on 105 carries (3.9 avg.), starting six games as a hard-nosed, straightforward rusher—ideal for teams needing a durable, chain-moving workhorse with receiving upside and pro potential (brief NFL stint).
