ETSU’s one-cut, chain-moving RB who led the Bucs’ ground game
In the 2024 season, Bryson Irby emerged as ETSU’s leading rusher with 763 yards on 145 carries, added 6 touchdowns, and averaged 5.3 yards per carry while helping the Bucs finish with the SoCon’s top rushing attack for the first time in school history.[1][2][4] His calling card is efficiency and burst — he posted a career-best 147-yard, 3-touchdown game against North Dakota State and even handled volume without losing explosiveness.[4][12] He looks like a fit for teams that want a tough, productive back who can punish defenses between the tackles; the knock is that his receiving profile is still developing.[14]
