Boise State’s compact, versatile back with legit burst
Davy Malaythong’s Boise State profile points to a quick, efficient runner who made the most of his touches: in the 2000 season, he logged 26 carries for 186 yards, a strong 7.2 yards per carry, plus 28 catches for 305 yards and 10 total touchdowns across his Boise State career[6][7][9]. What stands out beyond the box score is his all-purpose value—he wasn’t just a downhill back, he could create as a receiver and bring track-speed juice from his Golden Valley days, where he was also an all-conference sprinter[14]. That combination of burst, versatility, and production makes him the kind of player coaches love when they need a spark, not just a stat line[9][14].
