Ball State’s old-school hard-nosed back with a Texas pedigree
Rainey brings proven production and toughness to Ball State, with a reputation built on high school dominance, a compact 5'11", 215-pound frame, and enough durability to handle physical running between the tackles. He’s the kind of back who fits a bruising run game: downhill, dependable, and not afraid of contact. The catch is that current 2026 game-by-game college production isn’t clearly available here, so the strongest case for him comes from his recruiting profile and power-back traits rather than fresh stat-line fireworks.
