Evyn Holtz is a compact, efficient back with proven burst and game-breaking upside
In the 2026 season, Evyn Holtz enters Portland State with a profile built on efficiency and explosiveness, not empty carries: ESPN lists him with 30 rushes for 159 yards, a 5.3-yard average, and no touchdowns[1]. Earlier in his career, he showed a bigger-play gear, including a 65-yard rushing TD in camp reports and a 52-yard run in game action, which points to legit acceleration and chunk-play ability[11][9]. The fit question is simple: if a team wants a low-profile runner who can create yards per touch and punish light boxes, Holtz makes sense; if it wants a volume bell cow, the stat line says that’s not his lane yet[1][6].
