Efficient, low-volume Ohio back with proven short-yardage punch
Neatherton is a compact, efficient runner who has shown he can produce in limited chances, averaging 4.1 career yards per carry with Ohio and scoring a rushing touchdown in the 2022 season. His biggest calling card is reliability between the tackles rather than high-volume explosiveness: he was a rotational back who handled 50 carries for 126 yards in 2022, giving the Bobcats a steady option in the run game. He looks like a fit for teams needing a dependable depth back with functional burst and discipline, not a featured bell cow.
