Omar Shah brings veteran depth and compact, physical backfield value to Weber State
In the 2026 season, Omar Shah is a senior 5-foot-9, 205-pound running back for Weber State with a hard-nosed build that fits a downhill, contact-friendly role.[1][3][13] Early 2026 usage has been modest—he has 1 carry for 2 yards and 1 reception for 2 yards, showing he’s currently a depth piece rather than a featured workload back.[3][10] The appeal is less about raw production and more about reliability, physicality, and experience after moving through Utah and Fort Hays State before landing at Weber State, which can matter a lot in a rotational RB room.[1][7][12]
