Caleb Naumann brings freshman power and all-purpose upside to Colgate’s backfield
In the 2026 season, freshman Caleb Naumann has only a tiny sample so far — 6 carries for 15 yards and 2 catches for 9 yards — but his profile screams bruising, versatile utility back rather than flashy stat monster[1][2]. At 5-11 and 214 pounds, he arrived at Colgate after a decorated high school career as a school-record rusher and all-purpose-yardage leader, plus team captain and all-conference/all-state honors[1][13]. He looks like a downhill, contact-friendly option who can contribute as a runner, receiver, and kickoff returner, which makes him a nice fit if a team wants a tough, multipurpose depth piece with upside[1][9].
