Read EvaluationCole Dobbins | Prep Redzone Scout
Ashley is an absolute rocket out of the backfield, showcasing electric (4.4) speed and violent cutback ability. He runs the ball with short strides and a ton of twitchiness. Julian runs downhill with physicality at all times, excelling at putting his foot in the ground and exploding out of his cuts. He also demonstrates big-play ability in the receiving game, often taking screen passes into the third level. The Tigers’ offensive star had an incredible regular season, amassing 1,200 yards and adding 19 TDs. Recently picking up an offer from Southern, Ashley and the Tigers are 10-0 and looking to bring home a state championship.
