Explosive Freshman RB with 9.2 YPC Peak for Missouri State
Iverson Young, a 5'9", 190-lb sophomore running back for the Missouri State Bears, stands out for his explosive burst and big-play capability, evidenced by a 9.2-yard-per-carry average in his 2024 breakout game against a top-60 opponent where he gained 55 yards on just six carries and hit a 28-yard long [1]. While his 2025 sample size is limited (2 games, 21 rushing yards, 5.25 avg), his physical profile and ability to hit the hole with intensity make him a high-upside, fit-for-any-backfield prospect who brings fresh energy and a 'never out of it' mentality [3]. Active and healthy with no reported injury history, Young is a low-risk, high-reward addition for teams needing a dynamic, change-of-pace runner who can turn short gains into touchdowns [1][2].
