Reliable, physical New Mexico State back with room to pop
David Barela is a 5-10, 200-pound redshirt junior RB for New Mexico State who fits the profile of a tough, dependable downhill runner rather than a flashy stat-chaser. His value is tied to work ethic and consistency, with team roster listings and third-party profiles emphasizing his dedication and role as a steady contributor for the Aggies. That makes him interesting if you want a back who can bring physicality, professionalism, and depth—especially in a system that values reliability over highlight-reel explosiveness.
