Lee Witherspoon brings efficient, big-play upside and versatile depth to UAB’s backfield
Witherspoon’s appeal is his steady efficiency and versatility: in the 2024 season at UAB, he posted 166 rushing yards on 35 carries (4.7 per attempt) while adding 12 receiving yards, and his earlier college seasons showed he can contribute in multiple ways, including 101 rushing yards in 2019 and 49 receiving yards in 2020. He is not a volume-workhorse, but he offers a compact, proven rotation back with game experience, touchdown history, and a track record of turning limited touches into useful production; the main question is role, not talent.
