CCSU’s backfield committee piece with proven downhill potential
Josh Vargas appears to be part of Central Connecticut State’s running back rotation rather than a clear feature back, which makes him more of a depth-and-fit evaluation than a headline stat monster. In CCSU’s 2025 backfield notes, the Blue Devils were expected to lean on a committee after a season in which the rushing group combined for 1,480 yards and 15 touchdowns, so Vargas’s value is likely tied to whether he brings toughness, reliability, and short-yardage pop inside a shared workload. If a team wants a physical runner who can earn carries the hard way, he’s worth a look; if it wants a plug-and-play star, this profile is still a waiting game.
