compact, physical UNC back with early buzz and plenty of upside
JoJo Troupe is a redshirt freshman running back at North Carolina who arrived with a strong prep résumé — 3,444 career rushing yards, 42 touchdowns, and 17 100-yard games at Berkeley Prep — and he profiles as a tough, low-center-of-gravity runner at 5-8/200 who should bring contact balance and downhill pop. Recruiting outlets also noted his stock rose late, with a three-star profile and a flip from Temple to UNC, which suggests the Tar Heels saw a back with real developmental upside rather than just a depth piece. In short: if you want a compact, physical runner with proven production and room to grow, he’s worth your attention.
