Kevin O’Connell is a steady, versatile piece in Idaho’s backfield
Kevin O’Connell’s profile at Idaho points to a useful, all-around back: Sports Reference lists him with 19 rushing attempts for 63 yards and 31 catches for 182 yards in his Idaho career, suggesting a player who can contribute as a receiver as well as between the tackles[1]. That kind of versatility is valuable for a team looking for a dependable, low-drama role player rather than a pure stat-stuffer[1]. The catch: the available data is historical and sparse, so his current form, health, and 2026 impact aren’t clearly established from the accessible sources[1][2].
