Jarek Broussard's stop with Michigan State football turned out to be a short one. The running back on Tuesday announced his intention to enter the NFL draft after one season with the Spartans. He had one season of eligibility remaining. The 5-foot-9, 195 -pound Dallas native predominantly served as MSU's No. 2 running back behind fellow transfer Jalen Berger this fall. Broussard finished third on the team with 298 rushing yards on 63 attempts and scored three touchdowns in 12 games, adding four catches f or 48 yards.He posted season-highs of 81 rushing yards, 15 carries and two touchdowns in the Spartans' Sept. 10 win over Akron, then remained mostly dormant until getting 11 carries for 80 yards in a Nov. 12 win over Rutgers. Broussard arrived dur ing the offseason as a transfer from Colorado, where he suffered ACL injuries that kept him off the field in 2018 and 2019. In the six-game 2020 season, Broussard won Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year honors with 895 rushing yards, an average of 162.6 per game that ranked third in the Football Bowl Subdivision, and five touchdowns. - Lansing State Journal

The 5-foot-9, 185-pound Dallas native suffered ACL injuries his first two seasons at Colorado, redshirting as a true freshman in 2018 and then sitting out Tucker's only season in Boulder in 2019 after a second knee surgery. "It's been a couple of years s ince we had him, but you can see he's just more mature," Tucker said. "These guys just grow up. … And that's what you see these guys And then obviously from a physical standpoint, he's just bigger." During the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, Broussard ran for 895 yards in six games, an average of 162.6 per game that ranked third in the Football Bowl Subdivision. He added five touchdown runs to earn first-team All-Pac-12 honors and an All-American honorable mention. "He's an explosive player. He's an e xplosive athlete. You can see kind of the way he's built," Tucker said. "He runs with power and he's got quickness and he's got speed. He's got burst through traffic. He's got really good awareness and instincts, and he's a credible receiver out of the b ackfield. "He's just in general a football player. He loves to play football."In starting 10 of his 11 games last season, Broussard ran for 661 rushing yards on 142 carries with two touchdowns to get All-Pac-12 honorable mention, but he missed the season finale against eventual league champion Utah due to a non-COVID illness. "He's got the tools...I think he has good vision in the backfield, and he's got good hands. So I think we're gonna do a lot with him," MSU quarterback Payton Thorne said of Broussard. "And it'll be interesting to see what kind of player he can be here, because obviously we know what Ken was and everything. You saw Ken last year during summer workouts, and you knew this guy was gonna be a stud." - Lansing State Journal

2022 PRESEASON DOAK WALKER AWARD CANDIDATE: Jarek Broussard (Sr.), Michigan State,... The Spartans added two transfer running backs - Colorado's Broussard and Wisconsin's Jalen Berger - with Broussard seen as the front-runner to be the starter going into fall camp. Broussard, a grad transfer, was named the Pac-12's Offensive Player of the Year in 2020, rushing 156 times for 895 yards and five touchdowns in just six games with the seasoned shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among those contests in cluded a record-setting 301-yard rushing performance in a 24-13 win over Arizona. Colorado's offense struggled in 2021 so Broussard's numbers took a step back, rushing for 662 yards on 147 carries (4.7 YPC) and two scores. - Detroit Free Press

Expecting to compete for the starting job with the departure of Kenneth Walker III to the NFL, Broussard has run for 1,556 yards and seven touchdowns on 298 carries in 17 career games and has six 100-yard rushing games while adding 1,715 all-purpose yards in his career. - Detroit News

Running back Jarek Broussard earned Pac-12 offensive player of the year honors in 2020 because of what he did with the ball in his hands, rushing for 813 yards during the five-game regular season. Broussard and running backs coach Darian Hagan both belie ve he's improved in all areas, especially as a pass blocker. "I hit the weight room pretty hard this summer," Broussard said. "It's a confidence thing. You just can't be scared to make contact with that guy and stick to your fundamentals. "Wanting to (d o it) is one big thing, but another thing is setting that tone. We have a deep backfield and if I'm able to go out and make a big play or put somebody on their back, that's going to bring energy to the offense, to the whole group in general. Setting the tone is the biggest thing." - Daily Camera

On the second play of Colorado's scrimmage on Saturday, Jarek Broussard took a handoff, made a cut and went 66 yards for a touchdown. A few minutes later, on his second carry of the day, he went 42 yards before being chased out of bounds. "That's just Ja rek Broussard," receiver Dimitri Stanley said. "You guys saw it last year. He's just a breakaway runner. He can make anything happen. He can fit in the tightest holes and just gets it going." The 2020 Pac-12 offensive player of the year, Broussard looked to be in top form during the Buffs' first scrimmage of preseason camp.Although a couple of carries later in the scrimmage netted only six yards, he unofficially averaged 28.5 yards per rush (114 yards on four attempts). "Jarek looked good early," head coach Karl Dorrell said. "We got his reps and got him out." CU's star running back spent most of the day watching his fellow backs get their carries, and the Buffs showed off their depth. Alex Fontenot, Deion Smith, Joe Davis and Jayle Stacks all h ad some nice runs, as did walk-on Charlie Offerdahl, who scored a late touchdown. - Daily Camera

Averaging 26 rushing attempts per game is a heavy workload for any running back, let alone one with a 5-foot-9, 185-pound frame and a history of knee injuries. Yet, asked if he'd be OK with seeing that number reduced this year, Colorado's Jarek Broussard smiled, puts his arms out, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I ain't trippin' off getting the ball because, I mean, obviously I would want the ball. But, we have a good room and it would be very beneficial to see more guys contribute to the team success . "If I have to, I'll do what I gotta do to help the team win." Broussard battled back from two knee injuries in previous years to earn Pac-12 offensive player of the year honors in 2020 after leading the Buffs with 813 rushing yards during the five-game regular season. He added 82 more in the Alamo Bowl.Nationally, Minnesota's Mohamed Ibrahim was the only player to average more attempts per game (28.7) than Broussard, in part because the Buffs didn't have great options around him. This year, Ale x Fontenot, the Buffs' leading rusher in 2019, is back from injury, and Ashaad Clayton is a more mature second-year player. Deion Smith, who is also back from injury, Joe Davis and Jayle Stacks help to make the room even deeper. "We have a deep room and we all just feed off each other's success," Broussard said. "Despite me getting player of the year accolades, all that does is it motivates the other guys in the room. Fontenot was the leading rusher when I was here (in 2019), so that just gave me the co nfidence in myself to like, 'Okay, maybe I could do that, too." - Daily Camera

Two Colorado Buffaloes are on the preseason watch list for the Doak Walker Award, presented annually to the top running back in the country. Sophomore Jarek Broussard and junior Alex Fontenot are both among the 84 players on the preseason watch list. CU is one of only 12 schools with at least two players on the list. Broussard was named Pac-12 offensive player of the year in 2020 after leading the conference and finishing third nationally with 149.17 rushing yards per game. During CU's six-game season, shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic, he rushed for 895 yards and five touchdowns on 156 carries. He added nine catches for 65 yards. - Daily Camera

At first glance, it would appear that sophomore Jarek Broussard would be the lead back. After all, he was named Pac-12 offensive player of the year last season after finishing third nationally in rushing yards per game (149.2). Broussard rushed for 895 y ards during CU's six-game schedule. That averages to 1,790 for a regular 12-game season - a mark that only one player in CU history has topped: Rashaan Salaam with 2,055 during his Heisman Trophy-winning season of 1994.Dorrell is a big believer, h owever, that what happened in 2020 has nothing to do with 2021. "It's gonna be a challenge for Broussard," Dorrell said. "He had a great year last year in stepping up and everybody has the expectations that it's going to be even better this next year. We ll, he's got to fend off a lot of people for that to happen, and there's a really good stable that's competing for it. It's not going to be easy is my point, and it's a new year." Junior Alex Fontenot, the Buffs' leading rusher in 2019, had a strong spri ng after missing 2020 with a hip injury. - Daily Camera

After Colorado's Jarek Broussard was caught from behind on a trio of long runs at Arizona on Dec. 5, his coaches joked that if he wasn't wearing a knee brace, he would have scored. "I think we made enough jokes about it that ever since we started the off season, he hasn't worn it," CU head coach Karl Dorrell said Wednesday after the Buffaloes completed their second practice of spring. "He got rid of the Linus blanket." Broussard recovered from two torn ACLs in his left knee to bust loose last season. The 5-foot-9, 185-pound running back finished third in the country in rushing (149.17 yards per game) was named Pac-12 offensive player of the year.Wearing the brace provided some comfort last season, but ditching it this spring is another step in hi s progression. "Personally, looking at film from last year, I've noticed that the brace kind of restricted me to a lot of things," he said. "This spring, I'm going without the brace to try to see how it's different and honestly, I feel a lot better, I fe el a lot faster, I feel more elusive. Right now it's going good." Two practices into spring, the Buffs haven't been in pads, but Dorrell said Broussard "looks fabulous. He looks faster, which is what we all anticipated he would be without a brace." - Dai ly Camera

Going into fall camp, Jarek Broussard wasn't expected to even start for the Colorado Buffaloes. Four games into the season, the sophomore running back continues rewriting the record book. On Saturday night in a 24-13 win at Arizona, Broussard rushed for 301 yards on 25 carries. He didn't get in the end zone, but his big runs led to 17 points for the Buffs (4-0, 3-0 Pac-12). "I don't really trip on stuff like that," he said of not scoring, "because my job is really just to help the team win. If I have t o go for 300 and no (touchdowns) and we win, I'm cool with it." Broussard posted just the fourth 300-yard game in CU history, and the first since Chris Brown had 309 at Kansas on Oct. 12, 2002."I am very proud of myself, I must say," said Broussar d, who has battled back from two ACL injuries. "All of the hard work and all the hours of rehab, the cold nights in the hospital, it's all just paying off and it just feels real good." Broussard is the first player in CU history to rush for over 100 yard s in the first four games of the season. His 733 yards are the most ever for a CU player through four games - topping the 727 by Rashaan Salaam during his Heisman Trophy-winning season in 1994. Ironically, Broussard's performance came on the four-year an niversary of Salaam's death. "It was really huge to do that," Broussard said. "Every day we walk in the Champions Center and walk past that trophy. It means a lot to be in that type of company with that sort of player." - Daily Camera

Jarek Broussard ran for a career-high 301 yards, Ashaad Clayton ran for two touchdowns and the Colorado Buffaloes stayed undefeated with a 24-13 win over Arizona on Saturday night. Broussard has run for at least 100 yards in all four games this season an d broke loose with long runs on two separate drives in the second quarter that set up touchdowns. The 5-foot-9, 185-pound sophomore repeatedly sliced through the middle of Arizona's defense without much resistance - reeling off runs of 75, 72 and 59 yard s - and the Buffaloes piled up 407 yards on the ground. Colorado (4-0, 3-0 Pac-12) is one of just two remaining undefeated teams in the Pac-12, along with USC. Arizona (0-4, 0-4) has lost 11 straight games dating back to last season.Arizona freshm an quarterback Will Plummer made his first career start, filling in for the injured Grant Gunnell. He had some good moments, finishing 19 of 32 passing for 154 yards, but threw a costly interception at the 1-yard line on a drive that could have tied the game in the third quarter. The Wildcats stayed in the game thanks to a stellar ground game. Michael Wiley ran for 126 yards and Gary Brightwell added 113. Arizona had a chance to tie the game in the fourth quarter but Colorado made a goal-line stand with six minutes left that kept the Wildcats out of the end zone. Colorado rallied for a 14-13 halftime lead after falling into a 13-0 hole by early in the second quarter. - Colorado/AP College Football

Tailback Jarek Broussard scored three times in his first start, Colorado's defense produced two big fourth-down stops in the final quarter and the Buffaloes opened the Karl Dorrell Era by holding off UCLA 48-42 on Saturday night. It was far from easy eve n after amassing an early 28-point lead. UCLA cut the deficit to 48-42 with 1:45 remaining on a 9-yard TD catch by Mike Martinez. But the onside kick was recovered by Colorado's Dimitri Stanley and the Buffaloes (1-0) ran out the clock. Broussard finishe d with 187 yards rushing as the Buffaloes won their fifth straight season opener. The game was played in front of 554 fans made up of family and friends due to COVID-19 restrictions.The Buffaloes built a 28-point lead late in the first half on mis take-prone UCLA (0-1), which turned the ball over four times before halftime that Colorado cashed into 21 points. But the Bruins shook off the rocky start and scored 21 straight to turn what looked to be a rout into a back-and-forth encounter. There were no punts in the second half, but there were two blocked field goals by UCLA and Colorado made a pair of fourth-down stops. The crucial one was stuffing UCLA on fourth-and-1 at the Colorado 30 with 13:13 remaining and leading 45-35. Sam Noyer, a graduate senior all set to leave before being re-recruited by the new coaching staff, efficiently ran the offense. He threw for 257 yards and a score. He also ran for another. - AP College Football

Sophomore tailback Jarek Broussard was routinely praised by Colorado coaches and players during the past few weeks as the Buffaloes went through preseason camp. It appears Broussard was impressive enough to earn his first career start. On Monday, the Buf fs released their depth chart for Saturday's opener against UCLA (5 p.m., TV: ESPN2), and it included Broussard as the No.1 tailback. Last year's leading rusher, junior Alex Fontenot, is on the injury list with an undisclosed injury, and Broussard appear s to have earned the right to take the first snaps against the Bruins.Now in his third year with the Buffs, Broussard has yet to play a game at CU, as he redshirted in 2018 and missed the 2019 season with a knee injury. The 5-foot-9, 185-pound sop homore from Dallas flashed skills in practice, however, that reminded running backs coach Darian Hagan of former CU star Rodney Stewart - the third-leading rusher in program history. "Broussard has come a long way," Hagan said last week. "He's playing wi th a lot of confidence. He knows exactly what he's doing. And he brings a different element to the game. He's a real jitterbug. He's a guy that he can take it to the house, he can make guys miss in the open field. That's the guy that we've been missing. We've been missing a back like that." - Daily Camera

Alex Fontenot and Jaren Mangham are both back after combining for more than 1,300 yards a year ago. Then, there's Ashaad Clayton, a four-star recruit who will look to steal playing time in the backfield. During the first scrimmage of the preseason, howev er, the Colorado running back that stole the spotlight was Jarek Broussard. CU's scrimmage at Folsom Field on Saturday was closed to media and fans, but head coach Karl Dorrell said Broussard, a redshirt sophomore who spent the 2019 season rehabilitating a knee injury, was impressive and got into the end zone a couple of times."I felt he ran and stuck his feet in the ground, making cuts that you wouldn't do if you are questioning whether you're back healthy or not," Dorrell said. "I felt Jarek di d a nice job today. He made a couple of really nice runs. It was good to see that. His confidence is going to be huge from what he did today." A 5-foot-9, 185-pounder from Dallas, Broussard was listed fourth on the preseason pencil depth chart, which did n't include Clayton, the highest-rated member of CU's 2020 recruiting class. Fontenot (874 yards, five touchdowns in 2019) and Mangham (441 yards, three TDs) lead the way, while Clayton figures to get into the mix at some point. Sophomore Joe Davis is fi ghting for playing time, too. - Daily Camera
