Elon’s power back brought bruising production and real TD punch in 2024
Rushawn Baker was Elon’s lead back in the 2024 season, rushing for 859 yards and 9 touchdowns while averaging 4.7 yards per carry, and he flashed true feature-back upside with a 154-yard, 3-TD game against Campbell. He stands out as a compact, downhill runner with good burst, enough size to handle volume, and a reputation for finishing runs rather than just surviving them. The catch: his pro path has already moved beyond college, so for a college fit you’re really evaluating a proven, physical producer rather than a developmental sleeper.
