Big-bodied JMU back with efficient, low-drama production
Alden Hill gives James Madison a physical 6-foot-2, 220-pound running back profile, and his recent production shows he can deliver efficient yards without needing a heavy workload; in 2025, JMU’s roster bio lists 24 carries for 108 yards and a season-best 56 rushing yards at Villanova, while ESPN’s stat page shows 10 carries for 58 yards and a touchdown in limited action. [6][7] His differentiator is size-plus-decison-making: he looks like a downhill fit for teams wanting a reliable, between-the-tackles complement rather than a volume bell cow, but there isn’t enough public evidence here to project him as a featured starter yet.
