Minium: Ray Lawry, the Best Running Back in ODU Football History, is Training the Running Backs of the Future

By Harry Minium

Just as no one in Old Dominion football history passed the ball as often or as well as Taylor Heinicke, no running back in ODU's 11 seasons made anywhere near the impact of Ray Lawry.

He rushed for 4,080 yards, almost twice as much as No. 2 Jeremy Cox. He scored 45 touchdowns, averaged 6.2 yards per carry, 95 yards per game, ran for 100 yards 21 times and led ODU to the 2016 Bahamas Bowl victory over Eastern Michigan.

And he would have run for a ton more yards had he not been injured much of his senior season in 2017.
