high-upside, explosive USC back with elite prep production
Dalton is a compact, explosive runner who already showed a bursty early role at USC in 2025, finishing with 8 carries for 44 yards (5.5 per carry). He brings real upside because his background screams versatility and playmaking—he piled up 11,282 total yards and 160 touchdowns in high school, then arrived in college as a 5'10", 205-pound back with enough juice to stress defenses. The question is volume, not talent: if your team wants a twitchy, high-traffic runner who can create chunk plays, he fits; if you need a proven bell cow, he’s still developing.
