Pablo Escamilla is a rising, physical sophomore back for Portland State
Pablo Escamilla enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-1, 185-pound sophomore RB from Milwaukie, Oregon, giving Portland State a local, downhill runner with size and room to grow.[2][13] ESPN and CBS list him as an active part of the Vikings’ backfield, but publicly available stat lines are thin, so the big takeaway is projection: he looks like a developmental piece rather than a proven volume back right now.[1][2] For a team, that means upside in a compact, physical frame — especially if you want a young runner who can add value with development, special teams, and depth behind established backs.[2][11][13]
