Ah'Marion Gaines-Smith brings bruising, veteran RB value to Sam Houston
Ah'Marion Gaines-Smith enters the 2026 season as a fifth-year Sam Houston running back with a compact, physical build at 5-11, 220, and a track record of production from the JUCO level and beyond. In the 2024 season at Fresno City College, he rushed 137 times for 645 yards and 4 touchdowns and added 9 catches for 80 yards and a score, showing he can handle volume and contribute in the pass game. The big selling point: downhill strength, experience, and eligibility-limited urgency—very much a tough-yardage back who can help a team if it wants a reliable, no-nonsense runner.
