compact, tough Montana State back with upside, but limited recent stat trail
Anthony Pegues is a 5-8, 180-pound running back from Frisco, Texas, who entered Montana State as a freshman and was competing for starting honors in the 2017 season; the Bobcats’ roster notes also say he was injured after appearing in MSU’s first three games in 2016 and had only four rushing yards on four carries that season. His appeal is the classic low-center-of-gravity, quick-hit profile: compact, competitive, and built to add depth in a run-first room, with high-school accolades that included 2015 Tom Landry Classic Offensive MVP and 2015 Class 5A All-State honorable mention. For a team, he fits as a depth-and-development play, especially if you want a scrappy back who can survive contact and flash in space rather than a high-volume feature runner.
