Dylan Carson

Carson got off to a slow start in 2024, rushing for just 153 yards on 41 carries in his first six games. However, the 6-foot running back took over as the Falcons' go-to option down the stretch, rushing for 447 yards and five touchdowns on a staggering 97 carries in his final four contests. Carson should have plenty of opportunities to pick up where he left off in 2024 - Air Force ran the ball on 81.4 percent of their plays in their triple-option attack last year. The Falcons' depth chart remains largely unchanged from last season - Kade Frew and Owen Allen, who combined for 595 rushing yards, are other candidates to see significant touches in the backfield alongside Carson, but Carson seems the likely candidate to head the room.
