San Jose State’s veteran back with proven big-play upside
De'Leon Eskridge is a proven San Jose State back who has flashed elite finishing power in the Spartans’ record books, including a 217-yard rushing game in 2012, which shows he can take over a game when he gets rolling. His value is in burst, toughness, and reliability as a downhill runner who can punish defense over four quarters. For a team looking for a physical, experienced back who brings veteran urgency and a ready-made chip on his shoulder, Eskridge fits the mold—though current 2026-season stats were not available in the sources reviewed.
