former Syracuse RB with flashes of burst, but limited recent production
McFarlane’s Syracuse career finished with 563 rushing yards and 1 touchdown on 111 carries, and his most recent season produced 102 yards on 35 attempts with no scores, pointing to a back who contributed more in flashes than as a consistent lead option.[2][4][1] The best version of him offered straight-line power and enough physicality to earn meaningful touches, but the production profile suggests limited explosiveness and inconsistent efficiency.[4][1] Off the field, Syracuse coverage noted he battled depression and nearly left school before finding renewed joy in football, which adds real context on resilience and mental toughness.[7]
