Early-Down Army Back With Proven Pop in Limited 2016 Work
Cole Macek is a compact, physical Army running back at 5-11, 220 who flashed real burst in the 2016 season, finishing with 111 rushing yards and a touchdown on 17 carries against Lafayette and adding 108 yards and two scores versus Morgan State. He also had special-teams value and a nose for contact, which fits Army’s bruising style. The big question is projection, not effort: the available data shows a downhill runner with a sturdy frame and game-ready toughness, but his résumé is from an older season, so current form is not verifiable from the available information.
