Power Back Built to Finish Runs and Wear Down Defenses
Cade Carney was a hard-nosed Wake Forest running back whose game was built on leverage, contact balance, and downhill toughness; in his college career he totaled 565 carries for 2,446 yards and 21 touchdowns, and Wake Forest’s roster notes credit him with a 223-yard career-high outing plus a team-leading 189 carries and 8 rushing TDs in one season. Off the field, a profile on his training highlighted elite explosiveness and strength—reportedly a 4.4 40, 40-inch vertical, and massive lifts—so the differentiator here is a compact, physical runner who brings attitude, stamina, and a finisher’s mentality more than pure home-run flash.
