Kansas’ record-setting, three-down RB who finishes runs and catches cleanly
Neal was a high-volume, highly productive Kansas back who closed his college career as the Jayhawks’ all-time leading rusher after a 2024 season of 1,266 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns, while also adding 24 catches for 254 yards with no fumbles.[18][17] His biggest differentiators are his blend of decisiveness, contact balance, and reliable receiving skill, plus a proven track record of handling a heavy workload over multiple seasons.[18][1] For a team, he fits best as a dependable, versatile runner who can stay on schedule, contribute on passing downs, and bring a mature, low-drama profile built on production rather than hype.[18][17]
