Jacarre Fleming is a home-run threat with rising trust in Eastern Illinois’ backfield
In the 2025 season, Eastern Illinois RB Jacarre Fleming emerged as a dangerous change-of-pace weapon, rushing for 212 yards on 39 carries with 2 TDs and averaging 5.4 yards per carry while also contributing as a kick returner[15]. He drew national freshman recognition after a 111-yard, 2-TD breakout against Western Illinois, and reports from the program describe him as a speed-first runner who added bulk from about 170 to 195 pounds, making him tougher between the tackles without losing burst[10][12][7].
