Dijon Stanley brings plus-sized dual-threat juice to NMSU
Dijon Stanley is a 6-foot, 185-pound senior back for New Mexico State who gives the Aggies a useful blend of rushing and receiving polish, with 2025 production of 297 rushing yards, 24 catches, and 4.1 yards per carry before opening 2026 with 17 rushing yards on 4 carries and a catch in Week 1[6][10][11]. The big differentiator: he’s more than a handoff back—his pass-game value and steady versatility make him a nice fit for an offense that wants flexibility, even if he’s not yet a volume bell cow; he also earned an 81 overall rating in EA SPORTS College Football 26, which lines up with the view that he’s a legitimate, above-average contributor rather than just a depth piece[7][15].
