Isaiah Jacobs brings compact, reliable two-way production to UAB’s backfield
Isaiah Jacobs is a sturdy, experienced senior RB who gives UAB a dependable short-yardage runner and a useful receiving outlet out of the backfield. In the 2025 season, he posted 178 rushing yards, 72 receiving yards, and 3 total touchdowns through the games listed, showing he can contribute even when the offense is spread around. His best selling points are versatility, pass-game value, and a physical style that fits a committee role; the main caution is that his workload and explosive production have been modest rather than headline-grabbing.[3][6][10][14][18]
