Lance Mudd brings compact, versatile backfield value to Cal Poly
Lance Mudd is a former Poway High standout who arrived at Cal Poly with a profile built on production and versatility: in high school he rushed for 420 yards and nine touchdowns while also catching nine passes for 103 yards, and earlier he topped 500 rushing yards in a season before a broken arm cut that junior year short. The appeal is his all-around utility and physicality, with enough receiving ability to fit modern backfield packages; the main question is whether he can translate that high-school efficiency into consistent FCS impact.
