physical Princeton back who finishes runs and gets stronger late
Akil Sharp’s Princeton profile shows a compact 5-9, 210-pound runner whose calling card is toughness, burst after contact, and a willingness to keep grinding as games wear on. In the 2012 season, he led Princeton early in rushing with 97 yards and 2 touchdowns through the opening games, including a 79-yard, 2-TD performance at Lehigh, and reporters noted he got stronger as the game went on. He also brings special-teams value and a multi-sport background, giving him a competitive edge beyond the box score.
