Fitzgerald Toussaint

He arrived at Michigan billed as a track athlete rather than a natural running back, but Toussaint emerged as Michigan's feature back last season, giving the team its first prolific runner since Mike Hart in 2007. Although he didn't really seize the starting runner role until the end of October, Toussaint was monstrous from that point, totaling 708 yards (6.2 YPC) and five touchdowns in the final six games of the year. He didn't show much ability to produce against good defenses, however, and is a bit of a risky pick until he proves he's capable of that.

The unknown entity in Michigan’s running back competition is redshirt freshman Fitzgerald Toussaint. A small and shifty back at 5-10 and 199 pounds, Toussaint is an excellent fit for the spread. He displays good cutting ability and big-play potential. If given a chance it will be interesting to see how his talent plays out.
