USC’s efficient, high-touch RB with big-play juice
In the 2022 season, Travis Dye gave USC a dependable one-two punch as a runner and receiver, finishing with 884 rushing yards, 9 rushing touchdowns, 202 receiving yards, and 21 catches in 10 games[1][2]. His calling card is efficiency and versatility: he ran for 6.1 yards per carry at USC and brought proven production from Oregon, plus a physical, high-energy style that shows up in short-yardage and passing-game situations[1][2]. The big red flag is durability, since a serious knee injury ended his 2022 season early[5][8].
