Expert Analysis
Robert King | Prep Redzone Scout
Smooth, natural runner, with nice acceleration and burst. Always looking for a crease and looking for the big play. Can run between the tackles and go north/south, nice feet, can run in traffic. Still believe he is a big play guy, who wants to run lateral and look for lane to explode. Changes directions, cuts, all while looking to take it next level. High effort kid, doesn’t take plays off, always looking to rip off a big play. Will fit in to RB by committee. More lightning than thunder, but a bit of both. Would want to know yards per carry and verified measurables. All the running lateral, allows defenders to catch up. Ultimately looking for space to exploit, has vision/explosion/burst, knows what he’s doing. Running style is a bit of curveball for defense, hard to read and predict him as a runner. This makes him a good change of pace back. Believe his style sets a tone in a college game, ripping off chunk yardage in second quarter. Dynamic complimentary back, but can get tough yards as well. Believe he is a D2/FCS back because he’s smooth and fluid. Believe he’ll ultimately be a dynamic D2 back, but with upside to transfer if he produces. Looks like he does a good job of not taking big hits, he’s always cutting and bends well. Tough kid to unload on because he’s sudden and is always changing directions. Have to pursue with control. Unpredictable element makes him a matchup problem. 4.52 verified, William and Mary has shown interest.
