Goddard | 2027 StateKS , 5’8, 170, RB/DB, Goddard, ’27, he stepped up big last fall as a breakaway threat in the high-octane Lion running game and doesn’t give any indication of slowing down. On the season he was a handful anytime he touched the ball, picking up 600+ yards rushing on only 80 carries for a 7.6-yard average and five total scores. He also caught a 32-yard touchdown pass and had 200+ yards on returns to give him close to a thousand yards of total offense. As a versatile back, he is a strong runner with a low-center of gravity who picks up big yardage after the first hit. He is also a burner on the perimeter, whether it is taking the ball on the jet sweep or on the toss on sweeps and reverses. With a year of experience under his belt, this guy is getting ready to put on a show this fall.
