Corey Blair Jr. is a high-upside, big-bodied RB with early efficiency and goal-line punch at South Dakota State
Blair’s 2025 debut showed a promising power-speed blend: he averaged 7.9 yards per carry on 8 rushing attempts, scored a rushing touchdown, and added 2 catches for 14 yards for South Dakota State. At 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, he brings a rare frame for the position, which can make him a fit for teams that want a downhill runner who can finish plays and hold up physically. The main appeal is upside—he already flashed explosiveness with a 42-yard run, but he’s still an early-career back whose role and consistency will determine how quickly that talent translates.
