<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Tough tailback who finishes forward on contact and runs with good forward lean.

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Great motor and nose for the ball. Takes great angles, wraps up, and can thump against the run. Can be a very disruptive pass rusher with a quick first step and good get-off. Plays with adequate bend, pad level and leverage. Holds small school offers. Multisport athlete; ran a 11.16 100 meter track time.</p>
