Brian Austin keeps flashing burst in Army’s ground game
In the 2026 season, Army RB Brian Austin has 12 carries for 87 yards and 0 touchdowns, showing a clean 7.3 yards-per-carry pop in limited work[1]. The appeal is his efficiency and fit in Army’s run-heavy system: he looks like a downhill, disciplined back who can stay on schedule and punish soft edges, rather than a volume stat-chaser[1][13]. The caveat is that the public stat line is still small, so the real question is whether that burst holds up once the touches get heavier[1].
