Jason Albritton, East Tennessee State RB: the 2026 season story
Jason Albritton is a senior running back for East Tennessee State (Southern). He ranks 302nd of 575 running backs in Division I by the Player Index, which judges every running back on the measures that matter at the position, adjusted for the opponents he faced.
Scouting report
Why it matters. Knowing the one or two things a player does best, and where he is ordinary, says more than any single total. Jason Albritton's strongest measure is stuffed runs at 4%, 7th of 299 (the average is 16%). His weakest is yards per carry at 3.5, 286th of 299 (the average is 5.1).
Season production
Why it matters. Totals reward staying healthy and getting the ball; per-game numbers show how much he really carries each week. His rush yards per game, 30, ranks 237th among 299 ranked running backs.
Against every running back
Why it matters. Splitting the measures into how much, how well and how many big plays shows what kind of running back he is. Among ranked running backs he sits, on average, in the 15th percentile for volume, 60th for efficiency and 45th for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. A season average can hide a player who is great one week and absent the next; game by game shows how dependable he is. Over 10 games, Jason Albritton's best came in week 4 against Western Carolina and his quietest in week 6 at The Citadel.
When it matters
Why it matters. Plenty of players produce in easy situations; the ones who keep it up on third down and against good teams are the ones coaches trust.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. Where and how a player makes his plays shows how his team uses him and what a defense has to take away.
National and conference
Why it matters. A national rank shows how a player stacks up beyond his own league, where the competition can be very different. Jason Albritton is 91st of 276 FCS running backs and 10th of 20 in the Southern. Next up nationally is Jareese Howard of Alabama State, 0.01 ahead on the index.
Career
Why it matters. Past seasons show whether this year is a breakout, a steady climb or a step back. His best season by the Player Index was 2025 at East Tennessee State, 275th of 670 running backs.
Running backs like him
Why it matters. Comparing a player with his closest statistical matches puts his season in context beyond the rankings. His closest match this season is Jordan Bennett of Bryant.
