Western Michigan’s feature-back workhorse with proven production
In the 2006 season, Mark Bonds was a true bell-cow for Western Michigan, rushing for 1,082 yards and 7 touchdowns while averaging 4.3 yards per carry; his 2004-07 career total of 2,453 rushing yards shows sustained productivity, not a one-year blip. He stood out as a volume runner with enough burst to pop occasional long gains, and the stat profile suggests a durable, dependable back who can shoulder heavy usage—ideal for teams wanting a physical, high-motor runner who sets the tone and keeps the offense on schedule.
