Impact Avant would punch in a five-yard touchdown for his sixth score of the season, though most of his production ultimately came in the passing game. The sophomore hauled in a season-high eight receptions while leading the Rams in receiving yards. Avant, who found the end zone in three straight games to end the year, will finish the campaign with 417 rushing yards on 90 carries across 12 contests while adding another 261 yards on 24 receptions.

Improved volume during Week 12 Avant compiled 12 carries for 36 yards and hauled in 2 of 3 targets for 44 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 20-17 defeat versus New Mexico.
Impact For 2025, 12 is Avant's second-best number of rushing attempts. Out wide, he not only updated his season high in yards but also logged his ongoing campaign's first TD. Jalen Dupree no longer being part of Colorado State's team should benefit Avant, as the Rams will have to re-establish the top of their pecking order at running back.

Leads backfield in Week 2 Avant tallied 11 carries for 68 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 21-17 win over Northern Colorado.
Impact After logging just 12 yards on four carries in CSU's opener last week, Avant wound up leading the Rams in rushing in Week 2 while scoring a pair of touchdowns from inside the 10. The Rams' backfield picture still appears murky, as Avant, Jalen Dupree, Justin Marshall and Tahj Bullock all saw at least seven carries, though the 210-pound Avant's usage in the red zone is certainly encouraging. The sophomore joined Colorado State in the offseason after rushing for 259 yards and a touchdown as a true freshman at Tulsa last year.

Leads backfield Saturday Avant notched 14 carries for 61 yards and hauled in 2 of 3 targets for negative two yards during Saturday's 28-24 loss versus Arkansas State.
Impact Avant led the team in rushing attempts and yards Saturday, gaining 60 rushing yards in his second consecutive game. He split carries with Anthony Watkins (13 carries for 46 yards and a touchdown), suggesting that the Golden Hurricane may have a one-two punch in the backfield. Avant's involvement this early in his time with Tulsa bodes very well for not only the rest of this season, but the rest of his career.

Scores kick-return TD Thursday Avant logged 11 rushes for 64 yards and scored a kick-return touchdown during Thursday's 62-28 win against Northwestern State.
Impact Avant led the team in rushing attempts and yards Thursday, although most of his action came towards the end of the game with the second team. The highlight of his day was a 100-yard kick return touchdown in the fourth quarter where he showcased his playmaking ability. He still looks set to be the team's No. 3 option at running back, but will continue to see playing time as the season progresses.
