Chase Rudin brings compact power and verified strength to Tulane’s backfield
Rudin is a **5-8, 203-pound** freshman RB at Tulane with unusually strong testing numbers for his size, including a **4.63 forty**, **31-inch vertical**, **385-pound bench**, and **475-pound squat**, which points to a low-center-of-gravity, physical runner who can absorb contact and create yards after first contact.[1][2] In high school, he showed real workload ability, posting **192 rushing yards** and **4.3 yards per carry** in 2023-24, so the appeal is a sturdy, versatile back with power traits and developmental upside rather than a pure speed profile.[4][6]
