Michael Dempsey brings explosive freshman-year dual-threat juice to Stetson’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Michael Dempsey showed real two-way value for Stetson, finishing with 280 rushing yards, 187 receiving yards, and 5 total touchdowns while playing in all 11 games as a true freshman; that versatility is exactly why he was named an All-Pioneer Football League honorable mention and earned preseason All-PFL third-team recognition for 2026. He’s a compact, physical 6'1", 215-pound runner who can catch the ball naturally, make defenses pay in space, and already proved he can handle a full-season workload. If your team wants a back with fresh upside and mismatch potential, he’s a very interesting fit.
