Charles Ross brings old-school burst and home-run juice to Rice’s backfield
In the 2013 season, Charles Ross was one of Rice’s most productive playmakers, rushing for 1,280 yards and 15 touchdowns on 211 carries while averaging 6.1 yards per carry, and his career total of 2,689 rushing yards left him second on Rice’s all-time list[4][8]. The differentiator is the combo platter: power between the tackles, enough burst to rip off chunk plays, and proven touchdown production in big moments, including a five-score game against Louisiana Tech[8][15]. He looks like a back who can carry real volume and still threaten defenses with efficiency, not just workload[4][8].
