Draft Profile: Bio
Chip Trayanum from Archbishop Hoban High High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Trayanum joined Arizona State.

In 2020 as a freshman Trayanum saw action in 4 games for the Sun Devils as he ran for 290 yards on 49 attempts for an impressive 5.9 yards per carry, with 4 TDs, with no fumbles. As a receiver he made only one reception for 5 yards.

As a sophomore in 2021 he played 9 games. and rushed for 390 yards on 78 carries for 5.0 ypc, with 6 TDs, with 3 fumbles. In the passing game he pulled in only 4 receptions for 17 yards.

After the end of the year Trayanum transferred to Ohio State where as a junior Trayanum saw action in just 2 games for the Buckeyes. He ran for only 92 yards on 15 attempts for an elite 6.1 ypc, with no TDs, with no fumbles. As a receiver he made only one reception for 14 yards.

As a senior in 2023 he played in 12 games and ran for 373 yards on 85 carries for average of 4.4 ypc, with 3 TDs, with no fumbles. In the passing game he had 9 receptions for 53 yards.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Trayanum aggressively finishes runs and consistently falls forward in a crowd. His low pad level and a bit of wiggle keep him from absorbing big hits.
  • He has a prototypical running back build, well proportioned and thick through the lower body, and he’s at his best picking his way between the tackles with quick, choppy steps.
  • He gets low and runs with excellent balance in traffic, and that low center of gravity allows him to bounce off tacklers and keep his legs churning.
  • A strongly-built back with a thick trunk, broad shoulders and a filled out frame. Possesses good power and body strength. A downhill, balanced runner who lowers his pads and runs low to the ground.
  • Has quick feet for a big man with balance and toughness, but isn't explosive or shifty enough to make guys miss and lacks any dynamic qualities. If Trayanum embraces his powerback qualities, he could surprise as a short-yardage runner with solid hands.
  • Trayanum was asked to pick up blitzes often and has the strength to anchor and stand up blitzers.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Trayanum won't threaten the top of the defense.
  • His hands are good, but Trayanum doesn’t show much feel as a route runner and might not be a guy you flex out wide.
  • He’s slow getting to the hole, and while he’ll carry tacklers for a couple extra yards and fall forward, he won’t make anyone miss, and he isn’t going to run away from NFL defenders.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
