Arkansas State’s downhill RB with a compact, contact-balance style
Justin Slaughter looks like a north-south runner who wins with physicality, leg drive, and reliable short-yardage pop rather than flash, which makes him a useful fit for teams that want a tough, straight-ahead back. Available sources also point to him being in the Arkansas State orbit as a running back, but current public performance stats for the 2026 season are limited, so the clearest takeaway is his style: sturdy, decisive, and built to absorb contact. If your offense values gritty efficiency and a back who can move the chains, he’s worth a look.
