Steve Chavez-Soto gives San Jose State a tough, efficient run threat
In the 2025 season, Steve Chavez-Soto flashed as a true freshman for San Jose State with 448 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns on 87 carries, plus 15 receiving yards, before transferring to Utah in the 2026 cycle[1][4][5]. He stood out for efficient chunk-play ability, scoring burst, and enough versatility to be used as a receiver out of the backfield, with multiple outlets noting he projects as a backfield contributor again in 2026[2][4][11]. For a team, the appeal is a compact, productive runner who already proved he can handle real college touches and finish drives.
