Draft Profile: Bio
Jarek Broussard from Bishop Lynch High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Broussard joined Colorado.In 2020 as a freshman Broussard saw action in 6 games for the Buffaloes as he ran for 889 yards on 156 attempts for an impressive 5.7 yards per carry, with 5 TDs, with 2 fumbles. As a receiver he made only 9 receptions for 65 yards.
As a sophomore in 2021 he played 11 games. and rushed for 657 yards on 141 carries for 4.7 ypc, with 2 TDs, with no fumbles. In the passing game he pulled in only 13 receptions for 81 yards.
After the end of the year Broussard transferred to Michigan State where as a junior Broussard saw action in 11 games for the Spartans. He ran for 298 yards on 63 attempts for 4.7 ypc, with 3 TDs, with no fumbles. As a receiver he made only 4 receptions for 48 yards.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Once Broussard plants his foot, he’s explosive moving upfield, and his 0-to-60 acceleration is enough to catch defenses off-guard.
- Broussard moves at a different speed than most of the players on the field. His initial burst and acceleration once the ball is in his hands are special.
- He keeps his pads low and consistently falls forward. Unlike most backs his size, he has the lateral movement and stop-start ability to make defenders whiff. Broussard has breakaway speed in the open field.
- Elusive, pogo stick-quick back with excellent initial burst and very good long speed. Gets to top speed quickly. Turns the corner and accelerates smoothly with vision to cut or stop-and-start. Tough enough to attack the hole inside and uses electric lateral agility to avoid. Breakaway threat has improved as a receiver.
- He’s a natural pass catcher who can be used on screen and swing passes, and he has the ability to flex out as a matchup chess piece.
- He’s a weapon in the screen game, quickly transitioning from receiver to runner and showing the twitch to make defenders miss in space.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Size is an obvious issue. Broussard will never be able to do anything between the tackles, and he will likely be limited to a lot of gadget plays like fly sweeps.
- Does not always read blocks behind pulling guards. May not be big enough to move piles at the next level and has a tendency to bury his head too soon.
- He’ll be relegated to outside runs and is little more than a potential cut blocker in blitz pickup
