Duncan Brune emerging as Ohio’s power-speed RB with breakout upside
In the 2025 season, Duncan Brune gave Ohio a productive, hard-running backfield option, finishing with 585 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns in 13 games while averaging 4.9 yards per carry. He stands out for his unusual background and offseason work ethic — including training with the German national bobsledding team — which matches a physical, high-intensity style. For a team looking for a back who brings toughness, burst, and a reliable red-zone punch rather than just volume, Brune is an intriguing fit with a clear developmental ceiling.
