Young Dayton RB with early-game experience and upside
In 2025, freshman Mikey Hess appeared in 10 games for Dayton and logged 15 rushing yards on 10 carries, plus an 8-yard reception, so the stat line is modest but he already has real varsity-game exposure. The value here is projection: Dayton trusted him enough to get him on the field in a dozen-ish situations, and his profile suggests a developmental back who can grow into a bigger role with added burst, vision, and consistency. If you want an immediate feature back, he is not that yet; if you want a low-mileage, young RB to develop, he is worth watching.
