Akron’s compact, breakaway-capable back with proven all-purpose juice
In the 2021 season, Jonzell Norrils led Akron with 571 rushing yards on 117 carries and added 17 receptions for 153 yards, showing he can create chunk plays as both a runner and receiver. He’s a 5-10, 210-pound back with enough burst to hit a 74-yard touchdown and enough versatility to stay on the field on passing downs. What makes him interesting is the all-purpose profile: not just a grinder, but a back who can flex into space and punish defenses when he finds a crease. No recent 2026 stat line was available in the gathered sources.
