Ricky Conway brings veteran backfield versatility to LIU
Ricky Conway’s LIU profile points to a versatile, experienced runner with kickoff-return chops and a compact 5-foot-10, 180-pound build that fits a physical, low-ego backfield role. In his LIU years, he showed burst in space and utility value — including a 17.9-yard kick-return average as a freshman — and later produced modest but efficient all-purpose usage before moving on to continue his career elsewhere. He looks like a depth-chart booster more than a featured bell cow: useful, tough, and scheme-flexible, with the kind of reliability coaches love even when the box score stays quiet.
