Oregon’s powerful, compact back with legit downhill pop
In the 2010 season, Andres Reed showed Oregon a bruising, straight-ahead style that fit the Ducks’ ground game: at 6-foot-0 and 218 pounds, he was described by Oregon as the team’s strongest running back, pairing a 425-pound squat and 375-pound bench with a 297-pound clean. His on-field sample was small—18 carries for 125 yards, 6.9 yards per carry, plus one catch for 15 yards—but the efficiency hints at a back who can finish runs, absorb contact, and bring short-yardage value. If a team wants physicality over flash, he’s the kind of depth-piece with sneaky utility.
