Joseph Himon II is Northwestern’s do-everything spark plug
In the 2025 season, Joseph Himon II gave Northwestern a versatile, high-floor weapon: 486 rushing yards on 99 carries, 21 catches for 118 yards, and 131 kick-return yards in 11 games with one start. His game is built on burst, balance, and usefulness in space, which makes him more than a standard RB—he can stay on the field on passing downs and add hidden-yardage value. He also brings proven production over multiple seasons, though a foot injury from a hip-drop tackle at Illinois is a real context piece teams should factor in.
