Tony Creecy

Creecy leads the ‘Pack backfield after the spring, ahead of rising sophomore Shadrach Thornton, in what seems like an annual occurrence in Raleigh. Creecy readily impresses his coaching staff, new and old, but has managed a career 3.7 yards per carry over 230 touches in two years. He’s a capable, bruising back best suited for between the tackles, tough yardage. But his upside is with volume carries as he’s shown very little big play ability. A capable pass catcher, Creecy will likely have a few nice games sprinkled in with lots of shared carries once new head coach Dave Doeren realizes his limitations.
