Versatile Toledo back with proven burst and efficiency
In the 2025 season, Mike Drennen II logged 9 carries for 53 yards (5.9 per carry) and showed the kind of compact, change-of-pace efficiency Toledo likes in the backfield. A former wide receiver, he brings added receiving and space-play value, and his early career path suggests adaptability rather than a pure between-the-tackles profile. He was a top-170 national prospect and top-20 athlete in the 2020 class, which lines up with the all-purpose upside evaluators saw coming out of high school. He looks best as a dynamic RB/utility piece, especially in schemes that value motion, mismatch creation, and open-field acceleration.
