a veteran Holy Cross power runner and tone-setter
Michael O’Dwyer’s most visible college impact came at Holy Cross as a physically imposing, team-captain type who was valued as a blocker and short-yardage piece rather than a volume runner. In the 2013 season, he appeared in 11 games, started four times, and was described by Holy Cross as a key blocker in an offense that averaged 27.0 points and 155.0 rushing yards per game. The fit appeal is clear: he brings toughness, reliability, and selfless physicality — the kind of player coaches trust when they want attitude, not just touches.
