Michael Neel brings proven Dayton production and all-around backfield value
Michael Neel is a reliable Dayton running back with proven production, coming off a 2023 season where he led the Flyers in rushing with 602 yards on 139 carries and added receiving value out of the backfield. His 4.3 yards per carry, versatility, and touchdown production suggest a back who can stay on schedule and contribute in multiple ways, not just as a volume runner. The main appeal is dependability and fit: he looks like a smart, physical, system-friendly option rather than a flashy one.
