also earned some points in my book at the tournament. For being another thicker, compact back, he showed much quicker feet than I anticipated. He had enough speed to get to the edge on stretch plays in addition to having the agility to shake defenders in the hole between the tackles.

– 5’8, 160 lbs.
RB Type: All-Purpose
Vision- Runs with his eyes. His change of direction in traffic is proof of being able to see the field and react in a way that puts tacklers in bad positions.
Speed- Not sure of certified times, but I put money up it’s rare to see him caught in space.
Power- Will lower shoulder and split two not losing any momentum.
Balance- Low hips and center of gravity allows Jay to do his thing. Very good coordination and agility.
Ball Skills/Security-.Conscience of defender attack angles, and protects the ball as a priority
BPA: Big Play Ability- He can get little at any time and shake a leg all the way to the end zone. Has a plethora of tricks in his bag.

– Played for Woodbury
– Also plays basketball
Part of a championship-winning Woodbury team this year that actually defeated Trey Alexander Trey Alexander 5'10" | 200 lbs | RB Winslow | 2028 State NJ and a very good Monroe team in the finals. There’s a lot of Jerome Bettis in the way he plays. He’s a thick kid that almost looks like an under-sized lineman at first glance, but then you see the footwork and surprising-speed. He’s a load that can run between the tackles or out in space, at this point.
