When it comes to the bigger classifications, the 5-foot-8, 175-pound Lind is one of the better running backs to come out of 5A as a late. He had helped Hays reach the 5A state championship game as a junior.

Lind was a 1st-Team 5A All-State selection this past fall after being a Honorable Mention honoree as a junior.

This past season he led the Indians in rushing with 1,597 yards rushing (7.46 yards per carry) and 15 touchdowns. He could’ve just as easily surpassed the 2,000 yard mark but he split carries with talented junior running back Braxton Basgall this season.

For a career he had 357 carries for 3,866 yards rushing. Which both are school records.

Lind has started picking up offers and should only see things continue to pile up as we head for signing day.

This past fall Hays reached the 5A State Title game before falling to Kansas City powerhouse Saint Thomas Aquinas. Lind was a big reason why the Indians had such a big year and why many still have their eyes on them as legit contenders this coming fall.

Unfortunately for Lind he missed much of his sophomore year with a broken leg but rebounded in a absolutely huge way this past fall when he rushed for a staggering 1,678 yards on over 260 carries and 11 touchdowns on the ground. He averaged 6.0 yards per rush on the season. Also a quality receiver out of the backfield, he had 229 yards receiving and seven additional touchdowns.

This past season he was recognized as First Team All-State 5A and First Team All-Western Athletic Conference running back. Blessed with an dominate and physical road grading offensive line that mostly returns this coming season, it will be interesting to see if he eclipses the 2,000 yards rushing mark this coming fall?

An explosive back that really came into his own this past season after an injury his sophomore year. He shows very good speed, agility and quickness.

Even at 5-foot-9, 180-pounds, he has the ability to carry quite the workload for the Indians. Also a good receiver out of the backfield. His best days are still ahead of him as he further develops and gets stronger.
