Versatile depth back and proven special-teams contributor at Boston College
Strader is a compact, multi-use Boston College back who has shown value more as a steady, assignment-sound depth piece than a featured runner: he has 4 career rushing attempts for 25 yards and added 2 kickoff returns for 36 yards, plus special-teams work on punt coverage in 2018-19.[1][3] At 5-foot-7 and 175 pounds, his appeal is quickness, versatility, and effort—he’s the kind of roster fit coaches trust on special teams and in emergency snaps, not necessarily a volume ball-carrier.[3] His Mater Dei background also points to a disciplined, high-level prep pedigree.[3][5]
