Expert Analysis
Alan Popadines | Prep Redzone Scout
- Future High School: St. Joseph Regional (Montvale)
I think it should be pretty telling that three out of the four Running Backs that were selected to the 1st Team All-Combine are headed to SJR in the fall. Burgess has turned the corner physically, up three inches and 20 pounds since our last check. He looked explosive throughout testing drills and carried over the same stop/start skill set on the field.
