Faysal Aden is Albany’s bruising, low-key home-run threat in the backfield
In the 2024 season, Faysal Aden gave Albany a compact, powerful run style that showed up in his 62 carries for 330 rushing yards and 1 touchdown, including an 84-yard burst against Cornell[12][15]. He’s built like a bowling ball at 5'8", 214 pounds and brings veteran steadiness as a graduate student, which makes him a useful fit for teams that want a tough downhill runner who can pop explosive gains without needing a ton of touches[3][9][13].
