DeeJay Dallas has been a versatile player for the Miami Hurricanes since arriving in 2017. He switched from wide receiver to running back halfway through his freshman year. The move was made after a season-ending injury to starter Mark Walton. The Hurricanes were thin at RB and Dallas was moved to back up Travis Homer.
In his first two seasons, Dallas has run for 834 yards, averaged 5.6 yards per carry, scored nine touchdowns on the ground and has 14 receptions for 177 yards. Dallas has also been versatile as on returns. He has 19 kickoff returns for 407 yards for a 21.
