FIU’s Workhorse Goal-Line Back with a Nose for the End Zone
In the 2010 season, Darriet Perry rushed for 839 yards on 170 carries and scored a school-record 16 rushing touchdowns, averaging 4.9 yards per carry for FIU[2][7]. He also added 12 catches for 137 yards, showing enough pass-game utility to stay on the field in more than just short-yardage packages[2][7]. His game is built on finishing runs, durability, and red-zone reliability rather than pure breakaway flash, and FIU used him as a featured offensive engine during that stretch[1][3].
