Jullen Ison brings return-game juice and veteran burst to Northern Colorado
In the 2026 season, Jullen Ison’s profile reads like a compact, high-effort utility weapon: ESPN lists him with 106 carries for 402 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns, and his long track record at Northern Colorado shows he’s also been a steady kick/punt return threat. The differentiators are clear—low-center-of-gravity balance, multi-phase value, and enough toughness to handle touches in traffic despite a smaller frame. If you want a back who can add hidden yards and spark field position, he’s intriguing; if you need a pure power bell-cow, he’s more complementary than centerpiece.
