He looks to potentially take on a bigger role this season as a rising Junior after rushing for 182 yards, averaged over four yards per carry with three rushing touchdowns. He has 4.6 40 speed and in Key West high-powered rushing offense he could double his production easily in 2022. Doesn’t have any Hudl film but as a prospect coaches should keep an eye out on.</span></p> </div> </div>
