Malichi Greaves is a compact, promising UConn back with early flashes in 2025
In the 2025 season, Malichi Greaves logged 3 carries for 15 rushing yards and added 2 receptions for 1 yard for UConn, a small sample but a useful early peek at a freshman back with a sturdy 5-foot-9, 190-pound frame[3][4]. He’s the kind of runner who can grow into a physical role in a system that likes versatility, and his kick-return usage hints at trust from the staff beyond just handoffs[4]. If you want an inexpensive, high-upside RB bet, Greaves is worth a closer look; if you need a proven volume producer right now, he’s still a developmental add[2][3].
