Matt Lee brings efficient change-of-pace juice for South Dakota
In the 2026 season, South Dakota RB Matt Lee has been a compact, efficient runner with 59 carries for 303 yards and 2 touchdowns, averaging 5.1 yards per carry, plus a 13-yard reception[1]. At 5-foot-6 and 149 pounds, he’s a quick, low-center-of-gravity back who can create yards without needing big volume, which makes him intriguing as a spark-plug in the rotation[1]. If your team wants burst, balance, and a dependable complementary runner rather than a feature back, he’s worth a serious look[1].
