Chattanooga’s promising backfield depth piece with proven high-efficiency burst
Malachi Jeffries is a Chattanooga running back whose appeal is built more on efficiency and upside than a heavy public stat profile: his high school résumé featured 8 rushing touchdowns and 10.4 yards per carry in 2021, and his Mocs roster listing confirms he is part of Chattanooga’s 2026 football team, though no current college statistics are available there yet.[2][3] For a team, the upside case is a compact, productive runner with scoring touch and big-play juice; the caution is that there is not enough publicly available college production yet to fully judge workload durability, pass-game value, or week-to-week consistency.[2][3]
