compact, productive Bearkats back with proven burst
Cory Idlebird is a former Sam Houston running back whose best visible trait was production in space: in a 76-0 win over Houston Baptist, he ran for 138 yards and two touchdowns, showing finish, efficiency, and playmaking ability. Listed by Sam Houston at 6-foot, 185 pounds in 2014, he profiles as a more compact, decisive runner than a bruiser, which can make him useful in a system that values quick reads and open-field acceleration. The main reason to care: when he gets touches, he has shown he can turn them into chunk plays and scores.
