- University of Miami (Fla.) junior RB Mark Walton led all returning ACC running backs with 36 missed tackles last season, pushing his career total to 64 missed tackles on 338 carries.
- In addition to making people miss, Walton excelled at running through tacklers in 2016. He averaged 3.4 yards after contact per attempt last season, the highest mark of all returning ACC running backs with at least 60 carries.
- What Walton lacks in size (5-foot-9, 205 pounds), he makes up for in speed and agility. He totaled 21 carries of 15 yards or more, which ranked T-No. 2 among returning Power 5 running backs with less than 270 carries.
- Walton added six more missed tackles to his total on 27 receptions, which ranked T-No. 7 among that same group of running backs.
