Chip Trayanum

Trayanum is in an interesting spot for his fifth collegiate season after transferring to Toledo back in December. The veteran running back has bounced between three teams previously, with the Rockets now being his fourth, and he hasn't been the star of the show for any of them so far, most recently dealing with injury problems last year at Kentucky. He'll join a Rockets offense whose 2024 RB1, Connor Walendzak, amassed just 458 yards off 128 carries. That said, Trayanum impressed in the spring and is likely head-and-shoulders above the rest, commanding a much larger share of the totes than the lead rusher did a season ago. Walendzak is back to provide depth, as is Willie Shaw, and the team also dipped into the portal for another transfer in Kenji Christian from North Carolina A&T. Read Past Outlooks
