Depth back with upside if JMU wants a physical, reliable runner
Carson projects as a useful **James Madison backfield piece** because his value is more about *fit and function* than splashy stat lines: a runner who can help in a physical offense, absorb contact, and add stable depth if he earns touches. The available public trail on Carson is thin, so there is not enough reliable evidence to claim major production, rankings, or award-level impact; that uncertainty itself matters for fit, because he looks more like a development/reliability candidate than a proven star.
