Rufus Ferguson II is a do-it-all Howard back with upside, size, and a judo-built edge
In the 2025 season, Rufus Ferguson II logged just 1 rushing attempt for 5 yards, so the box score is tiny, but the profile is intriguing: a 6-foot, 208-pound redshirt sophomore who brings power, balance, and unusual competitive toughness from his background as an accomplished judo athlete. Howard’s own coverage highlighted that he’s aiming to become a full-time running back, which suggests the Bison see real runway here. If a team wants a physical, high-upside runner with a unique toughness quotient, he’s worth a close look.
