Explosive, efficient JMU back with early-down punch
Palmer has shown he can be a useful rotational runner for James Madison, posting 132 rushing yards and a touchdown on 33 carries in the 2023 season while averaging 4.0 yards per carry and adding a little juice as a receiver. His best trait is straightforward: he can finish runs and create steady, efficient production without needing a heavy workload. The caution flag is availability and role consistency, since recent reports note a toe injury and limited touches, so he fits best as a depth back who can add burst when healthy.
