This Middle Tennessee ball carrier may be on the verge of breaking out into a highly sought after running back due to his good size and quick feet but especially because of his speed and ability to hit the big play. Just this week, Otey landed his first two offers from Ball St. and Eastern Ky and they won’t be the last. What collegiate coaches will start to notice when looking deeper into the RedHawks running back is that Otey is a speedster that can make one cut and be gone! He shows nice change of direction speed along with upside in catching the ball out of the backfield. Otey is a track guy too, so you can bet this guy brings speed to the offensive side of the ball that can be utilized in multiple ways. Look for this Mid-TN talent to continue picking up steam on the recruiting trail as he performs in camps this summer on college campuses.

Otey is the jitterbug type with very impressive foot speed. Makes sharp cuts in the backfield and has the ability to bounce runs to the outside and pick up chunks of yardage. Can make defenders look silly in the hole because of his suddenness. Able to escape from early penetration and locate cutback opportunities to make something from nothing.

Otey is a speed back who is real threat to rip off a big gain anytime he touches the ball. He has a first-step burst and accelerates through the hole with a second gear to explode downfield for long gains. With his explosion, it looks like Otey gets a one-step headstart over everybody else on the field. In the open field, Otey is not just fast, but he has the moves to dodge tacklers and possesses serious change-of-direction skills. The fast back is a threat to tackle any carry to the end zone. Immediately, he will bring a big-play threat to his offense, plus he could contribute as a returner on special teams.
