FCS National Offensive Player of the Week with Elite Breakaway Speed
Duquesne redshirt senior RB Taj Butts is a high-impact differentiator who just earned Stats Perform FCS National Offensive Player of the Week honors after a career-high 254 rushing yards (18.1 YPC) and 3 TDs on 14 carries against CCSU in 2025[2][3]. Standing 5'11", 205 lbs, he combines rare explosiveness with durability as an active senior, ranking seventh among all FCS RBs in single-game rushing yards this season[1][3]. His intensity and big-play ability make him a perfect fit for teams needing a home-run hitter who can dominate short fields, while his 118-yard, 3-TD performance in 2023 shows consistent week-to-week dominance[4]. No reported injury history; he brings elite finisher mentality and clutch gene.
