physical CMU back with burst, but still chasing a bigger impact
Cornist brings a sturdy 5-11/210 frame, good burst, and proven big-play ability from his Winton Woods days, and at Central Michigan he showed he can handle volume with 105 carries for 470 yards in the 2025 season, plus a 99-yard, 1-TD game against San Jose State. His profile is more power-and-explosion than polished every-down efficiency, so he fits best as a downhill rotation back who can punish defenses and create chunk gains rather than a purely elusive, high-volume centerpiece.
