David Schields brings a workhorse start to UNI’s backfield
In the 2026 season, David Schields has 11 carries for 18 yards and no touchdowns, so the box score is still tiny—but that also means the file is incomplete, not the verdict. He looks like a roster-level back who will need to earn touches in a crowded offense, and the real appeal is whether his style translates into reliable short-yardage and pass-protection value. If your team wants an instant headline-maker, he’s not it; if you want a developmental back who can carve out a role with toughness and details, he’s worth a closer look.
