During the 2022 season, Skattebo, a sophomore from Rio Linda, amassed 1,373 yards rushing -- averaging 7 yards per carry -- and scored seven touchdowns. He is considered a frontrunner for several FCS Conference year-end awards.
The Hornets are coming off of a 12-1 season that was capped off with an FCS quarterfinal playoff loss to 7th-ranked Incarnate Word.
On Saturday, Stanford announced Sac State head coach Troy Taylor would become their next head coach.
