Morehead State RB Jelani Cleghorne brings veteran burst and proven tackle-breaking upside
Jelani Cleghorne profiles as a physical, experienced runner with real college production: in the 2011 season at Riverside CC, he rushed for 210 yards and a touchdown in eight games, and Morehead State’s roster listed him at 5-foot-10, 205 pounds, a compact build that fits a north-south style[3][4]. His value is less about splashy speed numbers and more about dependable toughness, downhill balance, and a veteran frame that suggests he can handle contact and short-yardage work. The bigger question for any team is ceiling versus role—he looks like a sturdy complementary back, not a headline-grabbing feature back[1][2].
