Chase Garnett brings juice: efficient, compact USF back with burst
In the 2025 season, Chase Garnett flashed big-play efficiency for South Florida, totaling 81 rushing yards on 8 carries for a 10.1-yard average, with a long run of 26 yards and no fumbles. He’s a 5-foot-9, 205-pound redshirt freshman who reads like a low-center-of-gravity grinder with enough burst to punish gaps when they open. USF’s roster and recruiting notes show he arrived with Power-conference interest and a three-star profile, which fits a back who can be productive in a rotational role and still has room to grow into more volume.
