CJ Donaldson brings size, power, and red-zone punch to Ohio State
In the 2025 season at Ohio State, CJ Donaldson posted 96 carries for 361 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns, plus 15 catches for 96 yards, showing a bruising, goal-line value profile rather than a pure big-play engine[1][4][12]. He stands out as a 6-foot-2, 232-pound back who runs angry, blocks well, and has proven durability across multiple college seasons, but his 2025 efficiency dipped to 3.8–3.9 yards per carry, so he fits best as a physical complementary back who can finish drives and wear down defenses[1][4][5].
