While Race has been a dominant performer ever since suiting up for the Gorillas as a freshman, he has played in relative obscurity at the Division II level. However, talk to most professional scouts and they will sound like a choir, as they all chime in when saying they feel that Race is the premier power runner in the collegiate game. One of only three players in NCAA history (all levels) to rush for over 90 touchdowns (collegiate record 97 scores) in a career, he also holds the all-time NCAA record for scoring with 598 points.

Race was also an exceptional runner during his prep days at Warrensburg High School.

He earned first-team Missouri Class 4A All-State honors as a senior, rushing for 2,069 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2002. He added 1,785 yards and 1nineteen scores on the ground as a junior and amassed 4,751 yards with 63 scores during his career.

Race made his presence felt immediately as a true freshman at Pittsburg State. He had the second-best rushing yardage total (982) on 145 carries and set the school freshman record with seventeen touchdowns on the ground. He also added 22 yards and a score on three receptions. He ranked 22nd in the NCAA Division II ranks in scoring, averaging 9.0 points per game.

The All-American and All-Mid America Intercollegiate Athletics Association pick was also named National co-Offensive Back of the Year by Football Gazette in 2004. In fifteen games, he rushed for over 100 yards thirteen times and set an NCAA Division II season-record by averaging 8.96 yards per carry. He exploded for a career-high 2,213 yards on 247 attempts and totaled a Division II-leading 2,244 all-purpose yards. He also ranked ninth in the nation with an average of 10.9 points scored per game.

In 2005, Race was a consensus All-American pick, adding MIAA Player of the Year honors.

He tied the NCAA Division II season-record with 33 touchdowns rushing, as he gained 1,846 yards on 239 attempts (7.7 avg). He ranked ninth nationally with an average of 142.0 yards per game on the ground.

As a senior, Race ranks second nationally in scoring and fifth in rushing. He ran 310 times for 1,944 yards (6.3 avg) and 31 touchdowns. He caught five passes for 57 yards (11.4 avg) and scored 188 points. Race amassed 2,001 all-purpose yards, an average of 166.8 yards per game.

In 52 games at Pittsburg State, Race started 46 times. He holds numerous school, Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, NCAA Division II and overall collegiate records. He rushed 941 times for 6,985 yards (7.4 avg) with 107 touchdowns and made fourteen catches for 137 yards (9.8 avg), including a pair of scores. He also recorded six tackles (5 solos) and recovered four fumbles. Race totaled 658 points during his career, an average of 15.44 points per game.

Positives: Has a compactly built frame with good upper body thickness, broad shoulders, well-developed, but shorter-than-ideal arms, thick thighs and calves … Gets most of his success between the tackles, as he has the raw upper body power, leg drive and change of direction agility to move the pile or avoid it … Demonstrates excellent stop-and-go agility to make the initial tackler miss … Maintains balance throughout his stride and can simply obliterate smaller defenders that try to get in his way … Has above average jump-cut ability and runs with a short, tight stride, showing good hip swivel … Can wear down defenses with the way he constantly keeps his strong legs moving and leaning forward to gain additional yardage after contact … Sort of a mini-Pete Johnson for the way he stiff-arms and drives through arm tackles … Unquestioned emotional leader of the team and never backs down from the physicality of the game … Lacks sudden moves or the second gear to escape, but if given room to build up speed, he can threaten the second level consistently … Does show great stop-and-go action to make the initial tackler miss and you do see some darting ability once he gets past level-one defenders … Runs with good forward body lean and knows how to plant his foot and make cuts in the short area … When used up the middle, he stays low in his pads with legs constantly churning, keeping his body on a forward lean to gain valid yardage … Might not be fast, but his stop-and-go action and lateral agility will leave more than a few initial tacklers grabbing at air … Not going to win any foot races, especially on the perimeter, but he can run through almost any tackle … Has outstanding strength to drag the pile and shows the body lean and ability to finish big after contact … Very aggressive taking on the defender and it is very rare to not see him run through wrap-ups … Will take on defenders with good force as a blocker, showing proper hand placement and punch to lock on and sustain … Has the kick slide to get out on edge rushers and the strength to knock down the bigger down linemen.

Negatives: More of a power-oriented runner than a quick-twitch athlete … Has adequate explosion out of his stance, short arms and marginal hands, making him a bit of a liability in the passing game or on outside running plays … His flexibility when changing direction compensates for a lack of blazing speed, but he is not a valid threat to win open-field foot races, relying on his power to run over defenders rather than elude … Lacks explosion coming out of his stance and doesn't show the sudden moves to ride up and surprise a defender … Has some short-area burst, but not valid enough to get him past the pile and into the second level by relying on speed alone … More of a one-cut, power runner who will run through or over defenders rather than generate sudden moves to separate … Has decent vision to locate the rush lanes, but needs to scan the field better, as he will run into traffic. When this occurs, he gets high in his stance, leaving his feet exposed for the low blocks … There have been rare incidents of Race breaking it open for long runs down the sidelines, but with his lack of explosion, adequate timed speed and minimal burst, he has gained most of his success running in-line … Has been prone to costly fumbles, as most come on the outside (15 of 23 fumbles) run, where defenders are able to sneak up and pop out the exposed ball from his grasp … Needs to be more conscious of ball distribution when running on the perimeter … as a route runner, he knows how to settle underneath, but lacks the speed to be a valid threat outside the short area and needs to look for the ball sooner and is used strictly as an outlet type in the flat … Not much of a cut-and-roll type of a blocker in the second level due to average quickness, but is a physical contact seeker when working in-line.

Compares To: CEDRIC BENSON-Chicago … Benson is taller and quicker than Race, but both utilize their impressive power and balance to break tackles and drag the pile into the end zone when running between the tackles. Race lacks blazing speed to be a threat on the outside and was rarely used in passing situations, but his production inside the red zone makes him a scoring machine.
