Corey Landers is a compact, quick-twitch WKU back with upside, but still fighting for touches
In 2024, Corey Landers appeared in one game for Western Kentucky, so his current on-field résumé is still light, but the Hilltoppers list him at 5-foot-8, 195 pounds with sophomore eligibility and a junior-college-style fit for burst and balance in a backfield rotation. He’s the kind of runner who can win with low-center leverage, energy, and change of pace rather than pure volume, which makes him intriguing if a team wants an undervalued depth piece with upside rather than an instant bell cow.
