Jameir Gamble, Mercyhurst RB: the 2026 season story
Jameir Gamble is a sophomore running back for Mercyhurst (NEC). He ranks 469th 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. Every measure is set against every ranked running back, so a strength here is a strength against the whole position, not just his own team. Jameir Gamble's strongest measure is runs of 10+ at 19%, 31st of 299 (the average is 13%). His weakest is stuffed runs at 34%, 300th of 299 (the average is 16%).
Season production
Why it matters. Volume is the first sign of how much a coaching staff trusts a player. His rush yards per game, 31, ranks 225th among 299 ranked running backs.
Against every running back
Why it matters. Volume, efficiency and impact plays can tell different stories: a player can be busy without being effective, or rarely used but dangerous every time. Among ranked running backs he sits, on average, in the 16th percentile for volume, 2nd for efficiency and 52nd for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. Consistency matters to a team: one huge game and five quiet ones is a different season from six solid ones. Over 7 games, Jameir Gamble's best came in week 1 at New Mexico State and his quietest in week 5 at Long Island University.
When it matters
Why it matters. Third downs, the red zone and games against good teams are where drives and seasons are decided.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. The shape of a player's production, not just its size, is what opponents scout.
National and conference
Why it matters. The Player Index puts every running back on one scale, adjusted for the defenses or offenses he faced, so a rank here is comparable across conferences. Jameir Gamble is 185th of 276 FCS running backs and 6th of 14 in the NEC. Next up nationally is D'Shuan Ford of Grambling, 0.00 ahead on the index.
Running backs like him
Why it matters. Players with similar profiles tend to be used the same way, which makes them a quick way to picture his game. His closest match this season is Ravon Moore of Norfolk State.
