NDSU’s compact, explosive workhorse with real touchdown juice
In the 2025 season, Barry Kpeenu turned into a legitimate feature back for North Dakota State, piling up 1,005 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns on 191 carries while also adding 211 receiving yards, a profile that screams efficiency and versatility. He’s a sturdy 5-10, around 199-205 pounds, and his calling card is finishing drives—he showed it again in a 59-3 win over Tennessee State with three rushing scores. The fit? Easy yes for a team that wants a downhill back with enough pass-game value to stay on the field.
