Marcellus Irving brings true dual-threat value to Lafayette’s backfield
Marcellus Irving’s appeal is his versatility: Lafayette lists him as a running back who also contributed at outside linebacker, and his senior-year production showed big-play ability with 550 rushing yards at 6.4 yards per carry plus 270 receiving yards at 17.5 yards per catch.[5] That kind of multifaceted profile suggests toughness, open-field explosiveness, and lineup flexibility—useful traits if you want a back who can help in both the run game and passing game rather than just pile up volume.[5]
