physical Washington State back with old-school toughness
Jeremy Thielbahr was a productive, hard-nosed runner for Washington State, finishing his 1998 season with 12 carries for 20 rushing yards and a touchdown, then adding 24 carries for 45 yards in 1999; earlier in high school, he showed legit breakaway juice with 2,169 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns as a senior. His profile screams versatility and effort: a 6-foot-2, 238-pound back who also played defense, baseball, and track, and was repeatedly recognized by coaches for impact plays and special-teams value. If you want a tough, athletic tone-setter, he fits the vibe.
