It was a rollercoaster of a college career for Kalen Ballage at Arizona State as in four years he made national headlines in 2016 by tying the FBS record with eight touchdowns in one game against Texas Tech.
While Ballage tied records during his time at ASU, the running back never earned any all-conference mentions due to splitting carries with fellow NFL draft prospect Demario Richard. Ballage finished 2016 with 126 carries for 536 yards while again splitting carries with Richard in 2017 rushing for 669 yards on 157 attempts.
Despite the low overall numbers in his college career, Ballage enters as a diamond in the rough running back prospect who has the ability to excel at the next level.
