Workhorse RB with Receiving Value and Proven Volume
KJ Shankle is a physical, 6-foot, 208-pound junior back for East Texas A&M who has already shown he can handle real volume, finishing 2024 with 113 carries for 497 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns while adding 10 catches for 99 yards. He brings a useful every-down profile: sturdy between the tackles, enough burst to pop a longer run, and soft hands out of the backfield. He also played with ball security in 2024, recording zero fumbles, which matters for a coach looking for reliability and a steady chain-mover rather than just a highlight-reel runner.[1][2]
