compact, tough, and production-ready for Texas State
In the 2025 season, Lincoln Pare was Texas State’s most dependable back, rushing for 1,128 yards and 12 touchdowns while adding 37 catches for 312 yards and two more scores—proof of a versatile, do-everything profile.[3][9] He’s a compact 5-foot-9, 200-pound runner with strong contact balance, leg drive, and a growing pass-catching role, and multiple evaluations praise his professionalism and culture-setting presence.[7][11][14] The knock is upside: his size and long-speed ceiling may cap him as more of a high-floor rotational or complementary NFL back than a true feature superstar.[11]
