Workhorse Nevada RB Who Carried the Offense
In his breakout 2012 season, Stefphon Jefferson was a true volume-driven playmaker for Nevada, piling up 1,883 rushing yards, 2,053 yards from scrimmage, and 25 total touchdowns while handling 375 carries, showing rare durability, finish, and a clear ability to thrive as a high-touch lead back[2]. His biggest differentiator was not just production, but workload tolerance—he regularly handled 30-carry games, which signals a back built for heavy usage rather than a committee role[2].
