Yale’s former big-play RB with touchdown juice
Deshawn Salter built his Yale reputation as a touchdown-heavy runner, finishing 2016 with 561 rushing yards and 7 rushing TDs on 129 carries, and in 2017 he remained a featured red-zone threat with 143 yards and 3 scores in one game and 15 career rushing TDs noted by Yale, which was among the active team leads at the time[8][15][6]. His best differentiators were burst, scoring instinct, and proven game-changing upside rather than just volume; Yale’s own coverage described him as part of one of the best rushing duos in FCS play and highlighted multi-touchdown outbursts that can swing a game fast[6][12].
