Kenneth Walker III no longer leads the NCAA in rushing. As of this week, that belongs to another running back in Michigan.
Lew Nichols of Central Michigan has been on a tear - if you've been watching MacAction on Wednesday nights, he has been dominating.. 267-1516-14 in 11 games.
Last 4:
22-192-2
26-163-2
43-215-4
32-219-3
Also has 36 receptions on the year.
5'10" 220 ran the 40 in 4.50 as a h.s. senior.
Played a handful of games in 2019 and 2020. Considered a redshirt Freshman but perfectly embodies pandemic football. He could declare this year or play 3 more years. 2019 he played 4 games and had 19-84, last year had 78-508-4 & 10-109-2.
There's actually more h.s. tape on YouTube than his CMU games. Was a 3 star recruit at Cass Tech (Detroit PSL) 84-1078-23 his senior year but barely made the states top 25. He was 195 when he graduated so he's bulked up a bit the last 3 years.
Anyway, most of that has been against the future gym teachers of America. Versus LSU he went 12-18-0 & 5-19-0. In the season opener at Missouri, had 19-135-1 and 4-20-0.b From what I have seen he seems like a patient runner who waits for the play to develop and when he cuts he has tremendous burst. Very good long speed.
Doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar yet. Just one to tuck away, let's see how he does at Senior Bowl / Combine. Probably headed for UDFA obscurity but you never know, eh.
