a physical William & Mary back with proven touchdown chops
Darnell Laws is a former William & Mary running back/fullback whose best-known college production came in 2012, when he logged 61 rushing yards against JMU and appeared in the Tribe’s offensive highlight mix as a tough, reliable short-yardage option. His calling card was physicality and versatility rather than flashy volume: a compact 5-foot-11 frame and a rugged, north-south style made him useful in tight spaces and on contact-heavy downs. If you want a tone-setter who can punish defenses and handle dirty work, that’s the fit; if you want high-end open-field explosiveness, he was not that guy.
