RJ Carver brings efficient, versatile depth to Lamar’s backfield
In his 2024 season at Lamar, RJ Carver flashed real value as a change-of-pace RB: 155 rushing yards on 28 carries, 2 receiving scores, and a career-high 122-yard, 1-TD finale that showed he can finish strong when given volume.[3] His differentiators are versatility and special-teams utility—he has career production as a runner, receiver, kick returner, and coverage contributor, which makes him a useful fit for a staff that wants backfield flexibility and hidden-yardage help.[3] The main question is not toughness or effort, but whether he can convert limited touches into a larger weekly role.[3]
