Dupuch has very good athletic ability due to very good balance, speed, change of direction, and good acceleration. He has very good vision.

Dupuch’s film thoroughly impressed me. The 5’6 170-pound running back had 198 carries for 1157 yards with 12 touchdowns. 5.8 yards per carry. 15 receptions for 111 yards. Dupuch has very good athletic ability due to elite change of direction, very good acceleration, speed, and balance. He has an elite burst of speed at the line of scrimmage. Elite vision to identify which holes to run through. Consistently runs through the first level and then weaves through the defense past the 2^nd and 3^rd. He has the ability to pivot and go, making it looking seamless. His running is very smooth and fluid. Very good juke moves making defenders miss. After contact, he is still getting yardage. Even with his smaller frame, he isn’t afraid to get physical. Dupuch is a slippery running back, who keeps churning his powerful legs forward for extra yards. Good catching out of the backfield. Easy completion for his QB. Kid is a beast, and colleges need to look his way for an extra boost to their offense.
