Casey Filkins brings versatile, space-to-space toughness to Stanford's backfield
Casey Filkins is a smart, reliable Stanford RB whose game is built on versatility, balance, and productivity in multiple phases; in 2023 he played eight games with three starts and, across his Stanford career, has produced 737 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns on 171 carries.[2][3] His high school profile and recruiting evaluations point to a back who can run between the tackles but is especially dangerous in space, with quickness, multiple gears, and consistent ability to make defenders miss.[4][8] He’s also shown the kind of academic discipline and football IQ that fit Stanford’s profile, making him a solid fit for teams that want a dependable, dual-threat runner rather than just a highlight-reel sprinter.[2][5]
