Fairmont State’s Tayshaun Lewis: compact freshman RB with upside and fresh legs
In the 2026 season, Tayshaun Lewis is a freshman running back for Fairmont State listed at 5-foot-8, 160 pounds and hails from Pittsburgh, giving him a compact, quick-cut frame that often translates to burst and change-of-direction value in the backfield[1][2][4]. The big question isn’t his pedigree — it’s whether his size turns into elusiveness, durability, and special-teams juice; right now, he looks like a developmental piece with upside rather than a proven volume carrier, which makes him interesting for a team that wants speed, versatility, and a chip-on-the-shoulder competitor[1][2][4].
