Justus Durant gives Chattanooga a proven, explosive downhill runner
Durant is a compact, productive RB who has already shown he can carry a rushing attack at Chattanooga, finishing the 2024 regular season with 272 rushing yards, 5 rushing TDs, and 4.5 yards per carry in 60 attempts, including a 103-yard, 2-TD breakout against VMI. He also brings multi-level experience after producing 1,369 career rushing yards and 13 TDs in 21 games at Shorter, plus a 2023 season there with 792 yards and 11 scores. His value is in reliability, burst, and proven nose for the goal line rather than flashy receiving volume.
