Dashun Reeder flashed big-play juice for Northwestern in 2025
In the 2025 season, Dashun Reeder gave Northwestern a jolt as a change-of-pace back, rushing for 222 yards on 22 carries with a 10.1 yards-per-carry average and a 79-yard touchdown burst that ranked as the Wildcats’ longest rushing score since 2001.[5][6][12][15] The appeal is obvious: true home-run speed, explosive open-field ability, and enough burst to turn a light touch into a chunk play; the caution is volume, since his role was limited, he dealt with an injury, and he later entered the transfer portal seeking a bigger opportunity.[5][15]
