Buffalo has essentially earned the “Running Back U” designation in the MAC over the past half decade. Since 2018, the Bulls’ backfield featured five different 1,000-yard rushing seasons by three different running backs. After the reign of the dynamic duo of Jaret Patterson and Kevin Marks, a new face took over as the prominent halfback for the program last fall in Dylan McDuffie.
After a prolific season as the Bulls’ No. 1 rusher, the Buffalo native announced his intent to transfer from his hometown team Thursday evening. In the Twitter announcement, McDuffie confirmed he has two years of eligibility remaining — qualifying for a redshirt in his true freshman season of 2018 and receiving extended eligibility for the 2020 COVID-19 riddled season.
