Vaughn was sensational on a night where his passing attack was nowhere near its best. The young running back ran for nearly 300 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries in the 28-7 victory.

He’s a compact runner who’s physical, patient, speedy and has excellent vision.

While he’s one of the best running backs in the state, he needs to grow more. However, he’s a sophomore and has plenty of time to do so. Once he does that, Vaughn will be unstoppable.
