undersized Ball State back with proven touch and versatility
Cory Sykes projects as a compact, scheme-friendly running back whose appeal is less about size and more about quickness, change of direction, and backfield versatility. Ball State’s 2011 cumulative stats list him in the rushing column, suggesting he was part of the rotation rather than a one-dimensional specialist, and his recruiting profile listed him at 5-7 and 155 pounds, which points to a lower-center-of-gravity runner built to make people miss. If you want a tough, agile fit for a spread or tempo offense, he looks like the kind of player who can add pop and energy without needing a heavy workload.[8][6]
