Lance Ball was Maryland’s durable, do-it-all back
In the 2007 season, Lance Ball capped a strong Maryland career as a tough, versatile runner who finished with 2,487 career rushing yards and 26 rushing touchdowns, ranking fourth in school history in both categories. Maryland described him as a durable, five-year back and he earned second-team All-ACC honors in 2005 after a 903-yard season. His game was built on consistency, contact balance, and reliability more than flash—think steady chain-mover with enough burst to punish defenses. If you want a back who brings effort, physicality, and veteran dependability, Ball fits nicely.
