Kentucky’s bruising, high-upside workhorse with NFL traits
In the 2025 season, Seth McGowan was Kentucky’s engine, rushing for 725 yards and 12 touchdowns on 165 carries while adding 19 catches, and he paired that production with a compact, physical style that forced 35 missed tackles and showed real burst on explosive runs. He stands out for contact balance, downhill power, and enough athletic pop to test well, which helped push him into the 2026 NFL Draft and eventually to the Colts. The fit is appealing if a team wants a tough, efficient back who can handle volume and finish runs.
