RB Daniel Hishaw Jr.

Game Stats: 12 rushes, 98 yards, 1 rushing TD

Hishaw served as the change of pace back for Devin Neal, and he looked just as good as he did last year before suffering a season-ending injury. He broke tackles on several occasions and extended plays with his powerful running style.
