About Palmer Updated Jun 20, 2026

veteran VMI back with proven rushing production and ball-security value

Daz Palmer is a 5-foot-10, 180-pound running back who has already shown he can handle volume at VMI, leading the team in rushing in 2017 with 491 yards on 125 carries while appearing in all 11 games; that track record makes him interesting as a sturdy, workhorse-style option rather than a splash-play merchant. He matters because he brings proven production, durability, and a clear college-level baseline, though the available sources do not provide recent 2025 stat output or current injury/role updates, so his present fit is best evaluated as a depth-and-execution back rather than a fully documented feature threat.[2][5]
