. He had himself a MASSIVE game in the D2 title game, going for over 180 yards on the ground and 2 TDs. He’s incredibly powerful, runs behind his pads and finishes every run. He constantly fell forward for extra yardage and lunged for the first down and you could tell it was frustrating the defense. In my opinion he has a D1 ceiling, and I’d love to see him get that opportunity!

Darrin’s hard work is finally paying off. Beginning his career at Lake Orion, he found a lot of success in the Dragons system. Now as a two-way player at St. Mary’s, Darrin has found further success. Since April, Darrin has earned offers from Wayne State, SVSU, Hope, Valpo, and Davenport. Watching his film it’s easy to see why.
Offensively, Darrin is a prototypical elusive running back. On both inside and outside runs, Darrin is able to find a hole, turn upfield, and outrun the defense. I would like to see better contact balance and elusiveness, though his current skills are definitely at a D2 level. Defensively, he plays with the same fundamental polish that you’d expect to see from any OLSM defensive back. Great ball skills, aggressive, and fundamentally sound.
