Jordan Waters brings efficient, downhill pop to NC State’s backfield
In the 2024 season at NC State, Jordan Waters posted 470 rushing yards and 4 rushing touchdowns while adding 157 receiving yards and a score, showing he can handle both between-the-tackles work and functional pass-game value. He also earned a 73.3 PFF grade in 2024, the fifth-best on the Wolfpack offense, which backs up the eye test: he runs with contact balance, urgency, and enough burst to punish lighter boxes. Waters’ résumé also includes Third-Team All-ACC honors in 2023 at Duke, plus a short-yardage, no-nonsense style that fits teams wanting a tough, reliable RB who can keep an offense on schedule.
