Rey Vega’s a proven, high-efficiency burst back with big-play juice
Rey Vega flashed elite efficiency in his earlier college and prep résumé, including 1,524 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns on just 119 carries as a high school senior and a 4.7 yards-per-carry season at Southern Oregon in 2016, showing he can create explosive plays and contribute as a runner, receiver, and returner. The differentiator is his multi-sport speed and playmaking versatility—he’s the kind of back who can stress a defense in space, not just bang between the tackles. If Portland State is looking for a dynamic, high-energy fit with home-run ability, Vega checks that box.
