Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox NFL biography DeAndre Torrey (born December 23, 1998) is an American football running back for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played college football at North Texas and has been a member of the Michigan Panthers in the United States Football League (USFL) and the Philadelphia Eagles in the National Football League (NFL).

Early life and education

Torrey, a native of Gautier, Mississippi, attended Gautier High School, where he earned all-state honors and gained 1,926 all-purpose yards as a senior. He was named a three-start prospect by 247Sports. Due to his small size (5 feet, 7 inches tall, 182 pounds), Torrey received little attention from colleges after graduating from Gautier, and so he joined Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. In nine games as a freshman, he rushed for 1,298 yards and scored 12 touchdowns on 185 attempts, averaging 144.2 yards per game, second highest nationally. Following this, he began receiving offers from four-year colleges, including North Texas, Troy, South Alabama, and Central Arkansas.

Torrey accepted North Texas' offer and announced his commitment in December 2017. In his first season with the school, 2018, he ran 175 times and gained 977 yards, for a team-leading 15 touchdowns as well as 25 receptions for 205 yards. In his debut, against SMU, he returned a kickoff 96-yards for a touchdown. He was named a second-team All-Conference USA running back and honorable mention all-conference return specialist.

Torrey began the 2019 season on the Doak Walker Award watchlist as well as the Hornung Award watchlist. In the season, he gained a total of 967 yards, which led the team. Offensively, he recorded 380 rushing yards off of 73 carries and 16 catches for 86 yards, scoring three touchdowns.

Torrey was named an honorable mention all-conference selection following the 2020 season, where he ran 113 times for 656 and six touchdowns in nine games. He also recorded four receptions for 20 yards. He was added to the Paul Hornung Award honor roll after a game against Rice on November 21. In his senior year, Torrey ran for 1,215 yards on 248 attempts and scored 13 touchdowns, earning second-team all-conference honors. Following an upset over UTSA, he was given the Earl Campbell Award for being the national player of the week.
