Local walk-on Tajay Ahmed brings Buffalo a dependable, downhill spark
Tajay Ahmed is a Buffalo running back who earned his way from walk-on to scholarship player, and that kind of climb usually signals toughness, buy-in, and a coach-friendly mindset. In the 2022 season, he flashed as an emergency weapon in big spots, including a 98-yard, 1-touchdown bowl performance, and his earlier college touches show burst potential with a 44-yard score on his first career carry. He’s a compact, physical runner at 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, with local roots, strong academics, and a reputation for being ready when injuries force his number up.
