John Emery Jr. brings veteran juice and downhill burst to UTSA
In the 2025 season, John Emery Jr. was a low-volume but efficient spark for UTSA, logging 4 carries for 4 yards in the Rice win while adding 4 total yards per game in his limited action.[1][5][8] The bigger story is his profile: a 6-foot, 220-pound senior with national-championship pedigree from LSU, he brings power, experience, and a seasoned back’s feel for the position.[2][7][12] If your team wants a mature, physical RB with proven big-stage background rather than pure volume production, Emery is an interesting fit—but recent injury history and limited 2025 usage temper the upside.[3][7][10]
