Small-frame freshman with upside and a fresh start in Charleston Southern’s backfield
Ackey is a 2026 freshman RB at Charleston Southern listed at 5-foot-8, 165 pounds, and the early read is all about projection rather than a stat sheet, since public game-log and season stats are not yet populated. His best differentiators right now are his compact build, quick-twitch profile, and clean roster fit as a developmental back who can add value in space if he proves he can handle contact and pass protection. For a team, he’s an intriguing upside stash—more “watch the growth curve” than proven producer, but the frame and role are there.
