Nick Orekoya brings goal-line power and touchdown upside to Valpo’s backfield
Nick Orekoya is a compact, physical running back with proven scoring upside, highlighted by a 2021 Valpo season in which he rushed for 301 yards on 65 carries and scored six rushing touchdowns in eight games.[8] He also flashed rare single-game impact when Valpo noted that he and Robert Washington combined for seven touchdowns in a win over Presbyterian, with Orekoya tied to four rushing scores in that game.[2][9] For a team, his fit is clear: short-yardage toughness, finish-at-the-line power, and a back who can turn limited touches into points.[2][8]
