Matt Gadek’s speed and redshirt path make him an intriguing Northern Colorado backfield piece
Matt Gadek is a 6-foot, 188-pound Northern Colorado running back from McKinney, Texas, who arrived with legit explosiveness—he was a state-record holder in high school and was originally rated as a 4.62-second 40-yard dash athlete in recruiting. He missed a season due to injury, then played in one game and recorded one rushing attempt for 1 yard, so the big question is health and role more than raw talent. If your team values a physical runner with verified burst and developmental upside, he’s worth a look; if you need proven college production right now, the résumé is still light.
