UCLA's Powerhouse RB with NFL-Proven Burst
Zach Charbonnet dominated as UCLA's lead back, exploding for a career-high 198 rushing yards and a TD on 22 carries against No. 11 Utah in 2022, showcasing his bruising 214-lb frame, 4.53-second 40-yard speed, and tackle-breaking tenacity that forced missed tackles at will. His patient, powerful between-the-tackles style, paired with reliable hands, made him a workhorse without major injury concerns—ideal for teams needing a versatile, high-motor RB who translates seamlessly to the pros, as evidenced by his 730 yards and 12 TDs (5th among HBs) in the 2025 NFL season.
