Quentin Skillings is a young Redbirds back with early efficiency and room to grow
In the 2026 season, Illinois State freshman RB Quentin Skillings has flashed in limited work, posting 3 carries for 12 yards and 1 catch for 7 yards with no fumbles, a tidy start that hints at reliability[2][4]. At 6-foot-0 and 210 pounds, he brings a compact build and physical frame, and his high school résumé showed production and finishing ability, including 13 touchdowns as a senior at Williams Field[5][14]. He looks like a depth piece with upside: not a volume star yet, but a balanced runner who could fit well in a physical system if his touches keep climbing[13][14].
