Second in the state in rushing yards with 2,086 and 21 touchdowns as a junior. Tough to stop, he applies immediate pressure to the defense by pressing the LOS quickly forcing them to be gap sound early in the play. Good natural instincts to anticipate running lanes and accelerate through. Runs with good pad level and forward lean, he’s slippery in both tight spaces and the open field. Displays great balance working laterally and limiting defender’s ability to square him up for a tackle. Carries a heavy workload in the Paradise Honors offense and proves he can keep the chains moving with consistent production.

Van Dyke put himself on the map with a 2,082 yard 21 TD Junior season this past fall. Really good initial vision, burst and spatial awareness as he does a great job hitting the hole with a purpose and knows when to bounce toward the numbers to give himself room to maneuver. He flashes some good twitch and lateral mobility to make opponents miss, but also possesses that play strength to lower his shoulder and punish opponents.

Hard, downhill runner who consistently attacks the line of scrimmage with purpose. Runs behind his pads and shows the toughness to finish runs through contact while keeping his feet moving. Displays good vision between the tackles and shows the ability to get vertical quickly once a lane opens. Effective at generating yards after contact and wearing down defenses with his physical running style. Highly productive junior season, finishing second in the state with 2,082 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns on 287 carries, demonstrating workhorse ability and reliability as a featured back.
