Aggie power back who punished defenses with burst and balance
In the 2000 season, Ja'Mar Toombs gave Texas A&M a bruising, explosive downhill option, finishing with 355 rushing yards on 117 carries and 14 touchdowns while earning All-Big 12 recognition from coaches. He stood out for contact balance, short-area burst, and the kind of “get-off-me” running style that turned ordinary first downs into momentum swings. The knock from his pro-era profile was conditioning and fit questions, but as an Aggie back he brought toughness, leverage, and red-zone punch — a strong fit for teams that want physical, north-south production.
