Larry Rose III was a cut-above, workload-eating playmaker for New Mexico State
In the 2015 season, Larry Rose III was the Sun Belt’s Offensive Player of the Year and piled up 1,651 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns on 240 carries, plus 283 receiving yards, showing he could win as both a hammer and a mismatch weapon[1][8]. He followed that with another standout 2017 season, totaling 939 rushing yards, 10 rushing scores, and 522 receiving yards, which made him a true dual-threat back and a tough fit for defenses trying to key on one phase[1][13]. The big why-care factor: he produced like a feature back, played with every-down versatility, and had the burst to flip a game on one crease[1][14].
