Lafayette’s steady backfield presence with 2025 efficiency pops
In the 2025 season, Matt Kulp emerged as a dependable Lafayette running back, averaging 5.8 yards per carry on 142 carries and giving the Leopards a reliable engine in the ground game.[1] His appeal is the combination of consistency and efficiency rather than empty-volume stats: he looks like a runner who can keep an offense on schedule, punish missed tackles, and fit well in a system that values balance and toughness.[1]
