Rugby-built BYU power back with captain’s grit
In the 2014 season, Paul Lasike was a physical, low-frills BYU running back who brought power, toughness, and leadership, serving as a team captain and a former walk-on who earned respect the hard way.[11][14] Across his BYU career, he totaled 843 rushing yards, and his most productive season came as a senior when he added 364 rushing yards, 267 receiving yards, and nine touchdowns.[5] His differentiator was relentless competitiveness—rugby-honed contact balance, special-teams value, and a reputation for doing the dirty work, which made him a strong fit for teams that want production plus edge.[2][5][14]
