Johnny Peña is Brown’s compact, hard-nosed red-zone back with proven touchdown punch
Johnny Peña is a senior Brown running back who has already shown he can carry an offense in short-yardage and scoring situations, highlighted by a 112-yard, four-touchdown game against Cornell in 2015 and a high school career that finished with 4,765 rushing yards and 64 total touchdowns. At 5-9, 200 pounds, he brings a low-center-of-gravity, physical style and veteran consistency, plus captain-level leadership and a strong academic profile. He fits best as a dependable situational runner and locker-room tone-setter rather than a pure speed-projection prospect.
