Big-play Bison back with burst, balance, and zero-fumble reliability
In the 2025 season, Ty Brooks gave North Dakota State a steady dose of juice: 133 carries for 968 yards, a 7.3-yard average, 5 rushing touchdowns, plus 7 catches for 60 yards, and he didn’t fumble once[1]. At 5-9 and 180 pounds, he plays like a compact slasher with real top-end pop, the kind of back who can turn a crease into a chunk play and keeps drives alive with clean, efficient touches[2]. He’s a strong fit for teams that want explosive run-game production without sacrificing ball security or effort[1][2].
