Dwayne Wright was Fresno State’s bruising big-play back
In the 2006 season, Dwayne Wright delivered elite production for Fresno State, rushing for 1,462 yards and 11 touchdowns while averaging 5.6 yards per carry, and he capped it with a 295-yard explosion against Louisiana Tech—the school’s single-game rushing record[1][11]. He also added 221 receiving yards in 2006, which makes him more than a straight-line grinder: he was a tough, versatile back with NFL size at 5-11, 228 pounds[1][2]. The downside was durability—he had a knee injury in 2004 that limited him to four games[13]. If you want a physical, proven workhorse with breakaway upside, he’s your guy.
