Cougar running back Duke Catalon burst onto the scene last season after waiting more than two years to see his first collegiate game action.
After redshirting his freshmen year at UT-Austin in 2014, then sitting out the following year due to NCAA transfer rules, Catalon showed flashes of his capabilities in nine games for the Cougars. Despite a shortened season due to a head injury, the Houston native found the end zone seven times with 809 total yards in nine games.
Having a year of game experience under his belt helps the junior feel prepared to take the next step as a college running back.
