Niall Raby is a physical, downhill Portland State RB with early-2026 efficiency
In the 2026 season, Niall Raby has 6 carries for 30 yards and 1 catch for 3 yards, giving Portland State a compact, physical option who is averaging 5.0 yards per carry early on[1][2]. The more interesting part is the scouting: Portland State’s staff has called him “extremely physical, smart, and hungry,” with “grit and determination” that stand out, and his 2023 Butte College production (1,131 rushing yards and 11 TDs) shows real workload upside[6][13]. He looks like a fit for a team that wants toughness, reliability, and a runner who can punch through contact and set a tone.
