Andre Buford brings compact, versatile RB upside to Michigan State
Buford is a compact 5-foot-8, 184-pound back who arrived at Michigan State with multi-phase production and toughness that stands out beyond raw size: as a senior, he rushed for nearly 700 yards, scored eight touchdowns, averaged 5.5 yards per carry, and also added 68 tackles with two sacks, showing he plays with edge and can help in multiple roles.[1][3] He looks like a fit for a staff that values physicality, effort, and versatility more than pure volume or top-end frame.[1][3]
