Ryan Warkentin is a compact, local-depth RB with a blue-collar path and very limited college production
Warkentin, a 5-foot-8, 196-pound junior from Reedley, has mostly been a depth piece for Fresno State, with his 2025 season showing just 1 carry for 5 yards in one appearance. His value is less about volume and more about fit: a built, low-center-of-gravity runner who came up through the local pipeline and has earned snaps on special teams and in reserve roles. If you need a proven feature back, he’s not that yet; if you want a tough, disciplined, homegrown grinder who knows his assignment and shows up ready to work, he’s an intriguing roster glue guy.
