Jacory Croskey-Merritt brings burst, vision, and big-play juice to Arizona’s backfield
In the 2024 season, Jacory Croskey-Merritt flashed elite efficiency for Arizona, turning 13 carries into 106 rushing yards and a touchdown in his lone Wildcats game, a reminder of the explosive, one-cut style that made him a proven producer at New Mexico in 2023 with 1,190 rushing yards and 17 rushing touchdowns. He fits a team that wants a runner who can hit the crease fast, punish missed tackles, and create chunk plays without needing a ton of touches. The caveat: his Arizona sample was tiny, so the appeal is upside, not volume certainty.
