Samford's Versatile RB/TE with Proven Multi-Phase Scoring Punch
Dakota Chapman, Samford Bulldogs RB, exploded for 26 carries, 96 yards, and 2 TDs plus 9 receptions for 53 yards and another score in the 2021 spring season across 7 games, showcasing his rare versatility as a former high school ILB turned multi-positional weapon (RB/TE/FB at Jacksonville State in 2018 before injury). At 6-1, 220 lbs, his physicality, kick-return grit (5 returns at 9.2 ypr in 2021 fall), and resilience make him a differentiator for teams needing tough, all-situations players—perfect fit for FCS squads valuing intensity over raw speed. Watch for breakout potential.
