2024 RB Star Returns After Foot Surgery, Ready to Lead Baylor's Run Game in 2026
Dawson Pendergrass, Baylor's explosive 2024 running back (671 yards, 6 TDs, 5.5 YPC), is back at full strength after missing the entire 2025 season with a surgically repaired foot injury. His differentiators include elite intensity in the weight room (massive offseason gains alongside teammate Bryson Washington), a fearless 55-yard touchdown burst in 2024, and a redshirt junior status that preserves his eligibility for 2026. While his 2024 stats show consistency, his true value lies in his high-intensity personality and proven ability to dominate when healthy—making him a top-fit RB for any team seeking a dynamic, battle-tested leader who thrives under pressure.
