Cal Poly RB with Elite Intensity and 13 TDs in 35 Games
Devin Cerda, the 5'11", 195-lb RB for Cal Poly Mustangs, stands out not just for his 48.9 yards-per-game average and 13 career touchdowns across 35 games, but for his relentless intensity and D1-level physicality (320-lb bench, 340-lb clean). Unlike many RBs who rely solely on speed, Cerda differentiates with a powerful, low-center-of-gravity running style that wears down defenses—evident in his high school ranking (top 5 in Avocado for rushing yards: 692). He has no significant injury history, plays with a 'bounce-back' mentality, and brings a team-first personality that elevates locker room energy. For coaches asking 'why care?', Cerda is a reliable, high-effort back who fits any team needing a tough, consistent runner who can grind in the 2024–2025 seasons and beyond.
