Nolan McCormick is Ohio’s compact, downhill RB with proven MAC production
In the 2024 season, Nolan McCormick played in nine games for Ohio and scored two rushing touchdowns, after logging a bigger workload in 2022 with 289 rushing yards and a touchdown on 83 carries. At 5-foot-11 and 226 pounds, he brings a dense, physical frame that fits short-yardage and between-the-tackles work, and Ohio’s staff has trusted him in multiple seasons. The upside is straightforward: he’s a sturdy, low-fuss back who can handle contact and stay in the rotation. The caution flag is role depth and modest explosiveness, so he looks best as a reliable complementary piece rather than a feature-back bet.
