David Jamison’s Rhode Island legacy still sets the standard for Rams running backs
In the 2001 season, David Jamison was the definition of a workload back: he set Rhode Island’s single-season rushing record with 1,302 yards and added 13 rushing touchdowns, showing the kind of contact balance, finish, and clutch production coaches love in a feature runner.[2][15] He also delivered in the biggest moments, including 260 yards and two scores in a win over New Hampshire and 197 yards with three touchdowns against Brown, which screams “feed me the ball.”[6][8] If you want a physical, proven tone-setter with big-game juice, he’s your guy.[2][6][8]
