Tulane’s explosive, slippery big-play back
Tyjae Spears was a true game-breaker at Tulane, finishing his college career with 2,910 rushing yards, 31 rushing touchdowns, and a school-record 6.8 yards per carry, plus 48 catches for 564 yards[4]. In his 2022 season, he erupted for 1,581 rushing yards and 19 scores on 229 carries, showing burst, contact balance, and real receiving value out of the backfield[14]. Why care: he’s the kind of back who can flip a game with one cut, fits best in an offense that values explosiveness and versatility, and brings a proven production-plus-playmaking profile[4][14].
