Compact, versatile NCCU back with efficient touch-and-score upside
In the 2024 season, Aleni Mageo flashed efficiency for North Carolina Central, averaging 5.1 yards per carry on 20 rushing attempts and scoring on both the ground and as a receiver, while showing enough burst to pop a 43-yard run.[1] The 5-foot-9, 185-pound back also has a proven high-school production track record, which suggests his value is more about quickness, balance, and playmaking in space than volume alone.[1][4] For a team, he looks like a useful change-of-pace option who can help in multiple phases if he keeps adding size and consistency.[1][9]
