Person was the Pack's leading ball carrier in 2020 and was the second-leading rusher.
The 6-1, 222-pounder rushed for 643 yards (4.4 per carry) and four touchdowns. He also caught 18 balls for 136 yards, which tied for the most among Pack running backs.
Person was named the ACC Running Back of the Week after his 99-yard, two-touchdown performance in the opener against Wake Forest, which set his season-high mark for rushing total.
