Dyontae Navarrete brings veteran power and proven production to Drake’s backfield
A compact, downhill runner at 5-10, 210, Navarrete arrives at Drake with real game-tested production: at Lewis & Clark in 2022, he rushed 132 times for 597 yards and 11 touchdowns, and his earlier prep profile showed big-play juice as a multi-sport grinder with heavy defensive workload too.[2][4] He’s a fit if your offense wants a physical, experienced back who can handle contact and churn out reliable carries; the catch is that recent college game logs and 2025 stat tracking don’t show public in-season production yet, so he looks more like a depth-and-tone-setter than a guaranteed bell cow right now.[1][6][12]
