Dawaiian McNeely brings veteran power and touchdown punch to Valpo’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Dawaiian McNeely has been Valparaiso’s most proven downhill runner, carrying 65 times for 198 yards and 4 rushing touchdowns while adding 8 receptions for 16 yards; he also scored in a September 2025 win over Adrian and found the end zone again against Morehead State. A 6-foot-2, 215-pound senior, he offers size, veteran experience, and short-yardage value, though his 3.0 yards per carry suggests he’s more a physical complementary back than a home-run threat. If your team wants a sturdy, experienced, goal-line bruiser, he’s intriguing.
