appears to have identified a primary tailback. His name is well known but his lean build and quick burst don’t seem all that familiar.
That’s probably a good thing for Bolu Olorunfunmi and the Bruins. Olorunfunmi averaged 3.9 yards per carry last season, part of a plodding Bruins rushing attack that gained only 84.3 yards per game to rank No. 127 out of 128 major-college teams.
The 5-foot-10, 215-pound Olorunfumi weighs only five pounds less than last season but has transformed his body-fat ratio from 12% to about 9%, making him appear visibly slimmer. He’s also much swifter as the result of offseason running, stair climbing and weight training.
