Former USC walk-on back with quickness, toughness, and enough versatility to help in a depth role
James Toland IV was a compact, high-effort USC running back who earned attention as a walk-on because of his quickness, toughness, and ability to create yards without much wasted movement; USC’s roster listed him at 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, and the school’s 2017 roster shows he had 194 rushing yards on 45 carries (4.3 per carry) plus 10 career tackles, with a 69-yard, 5.3-yard-per-carry season segment also on record[7][8][9]. The best fit for him is a team that values reliable, physical depth and special-teams willingness over pure marquee explosiveness[7][8].
