Aiden Carson brings fresh legs and upside to Colgate’s backfield
Aiden Carson is a 5-foot-11, 190-pound freshman running back for Colgate in the 2025 season, and the early read is simple: he’s an active, developmental piece with room to grow rather than a proven stat-sheet monster yet[1][2]. His appeal is the combo of size, youth, and fit in a deep backfield, where his upside is tied to burst, durability, and whether he can earn meaningful touches in a crowded rotation[1][7][15]. If a team wants a young runner with long-term trajectory and a clean build, Carson is worth watching; if it needs an immediate feature-back producer, he’s still more “project” than finished product[1][3].
