FIU's Record-Breaking RB with Explosive Speed but Injury Shadows
Rashod Smith, FIU Panthers running back, etched school history with a jaw-dropping 262-yard rushing game in 2004 while averaging 6.22 points per game (62nd nationally in I-AA), showcasing elite burst and big-play ability from his Miami roots. His 5.6 yards per carry career mark highlights elusiveness and vision, but recurring injuries limited him to just six games in 2003 with 278 yards. A high-motor competitor perfect for teams needing a dynamic change-of-pace back—watch for his track-honed speed if he stays healthy.
