Michael Rumoro brings compact, physical two-way value to Valpo’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Michael Rumoro showed himself to be a sturdy, versatile Valparaiso RB: he played in nine games with two starts, finished with 137 rushing yards on 34 carries and 51 receiving yards on eight catches, and scored his first collegiate touchdown through the air.[4] He fits as a **change-of-pace runner** with enough receiving ability to stay on the field in multiple situations, and his 5'9", 190-pound build suggests a low-center, contact-friendly style.[4] Coming from a productive high-school profile, he looks like a useful fit for a staff that values reliability, toughness, and flexibility over pure home-run speed.[5][6]
