A&T’s rugged, high-volume tailback who helped power the Aggies’ ground game
Michael Ferguson was a durable, productive North Carolina A&T back who piled up 2,465 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns in his Aggies career, including a breakout 2007 season with 1,169 yards on 182 carries and 2008 season with 618 yards and 7 TDs.[1][2][3] The big selling point: he wasn’t just volume, he was a physical, steady, chain-moving runner who kept improving and finished sixth on A&T’s all-time rushing list, with the kind of toughness coaches love and defenders hate.[3][4]
