context_page_description: Silas Raynard Redd Jr. is a former American football running back who was signed to play rugby league for the Ipswich Jets in the Australian Intrust Super Cup in 2018. He played college football at Penn State and USC, and was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Washington Redskins in 2014.
context_section_description: Redd served as a backup in 2010, and became Penn State's lead running back in 2011.  He rushed for 1,188 yards in the 2011 regular season, third most in the Big Ten Conference and 22nd most among all NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision players.  He ranked 28th in the Football Bowl Subdivision in rushing yards per game.
  Redd rushed for 100 or more yards in six of 12 games for Penn State in 2011, including a career-high 164 yards against Northwestern on October 22, 2011.
  On July 31, 2012, Redd announced he would transfer to USC in the wake of NCAA sanctions levied against the Nittany Lions football program that gave players an opportunity to transfer to another major program without sitting out a year.  Redd practiced with the Trojans for the first time on August 6. He finished his first year with 905 rushing yards and nine touchdowns.
  Redd announced he intended to remain at USC for his senior season. He only played in six games, rushing for just 376 yards with one touchdown.
