Marshall’s steady, versatile back from the early-2000s Herd
In the 2000 season, Brandon Carey showed real efficiency for Marshall, rushing for 232 yards on 38 carries for a 6.1-yard average; across his Marshall career, he produced 1,729 rushing yards and 10 total touchdowns, including 1,178 rushing yards and 9 rushing scores on 261 carries from 2000-2002. He looks like a compact, productive runner who could give a team dependable downhill balance rather than flashy volume. The catch: the available data is historical, not current, so there’s no evidence here of a recent injury or 2026 form to evaluate.
