Tulane’s All-Time Workhorse and Big-Play Dual Threat
Matt Forte was a rare Tulane back who could *carry the offense* and still hurt defenses as a receiver, finishing his college career as the program’s all-time leader in rushing yards per game, rushing touchdowns, and total touchdowns while ranking near the top in all-purpose production.[3] In 2007, he delivered one of the most dominant seasons in school history, setting the Tulane single-season rushing record with 2,127 yards and averaging 177.2 yards per game.[8] He’s a fit for teams that want toughness, volume, and versatility rather than a one-dimensional runner.[5][8]
