Bobby Hendry was Akron’s workhorse RB—big volume, steady production, and a nose for the goal line
In his Akron career, Bobby Hendry piled up 2,847 rushing yards and 32 rushing touchdowns from 2000-2003, with 603 carries and 35 catches, showing a classic between-the-tackles profile[1][4][6]. He also delivered in big moments, including a 132-yard, three-touchdown game against Central Michigan in 2003 and a strong 117-yard, three-score scrimmage earlier in his Akron run[5][7]. The appeal: dependable chain-moving power, red-zone finishing, and proven volume—exactly the kind of back who can carry an offense when you want a physical identity[1][6].
