Villanova’s compact, explosive workhorse back
In the 2025 season, David Avit was Villanova’s engine, finishing with 687 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns on 125 carries while adding 9 catches for 84 yards; in 2024, he was even more productive with 923 rushing yards, 9 rushing TDs, and 175 receiving yards, earning CAA Offensive Rookie of the Year recognition. He’s a 6-foot, 225-pound back who brings downhill power, real contact balance, and enough receiving utility to stay on the field in multiple situations. The big question is fit: if your team wants a tough, efficient chain-mover with proven production and a strong college résumé, Avit makes a compelling case.
