Major is an under the radar running back who is building a strong case for increased recognition from scouts heading into the postseason. Major has carried the ball 202 times for 1,260 yards and 17 touchdowns, proving he can handle a significant workload while consistently finding ways to reach the endzone. His ability to make the first defender miss allows him to create opportunities when the initial running lane begins to close. Once Major reaches the second level, his speed becomes evident, giving him the ability to turn a productive run into an explosive play. His longest carry of 70 yards highlights that big play potential. Major is a name to watch as the playoffs approach.
Major measures in at 5’9 185-pounds. He has 95 carries for 496 yards with 8 touchdowns, including 3 receptions for 30 yards with 1 touchdown. Major displays good athletic ability due to his very good acceleration, balance, good change of direction, and speed. He has been a consistent force for the Timnath’s offense, getting the hard short gains. Major has very good vision. Picks, slides, and accelerates into the open hole. If it’s covered, he’ll use his smooth jump cuts to quickly pivot into an open gap. Very good inside running and good outside running. Major does a great job creating yards after contact. He’ll get physical, either trucking defenders, giving a powerful stiff arm or bulldozing his way through. He’s a rising running back who has been putting together a solid season so far.
Major had a nice outing during this scrimmage, showcasing his athletic ability and bruising running back style. He displays good athletic ability due to very good balance, acceleration, good speed, and change of direction. Good vision, consistently finding his way through the defense. Smooth cuts. Very good inside and outside running. Turns the corner and uses his speed to turn the perimeter for a decent gain. Major gains yards after contact due to his trucking and putting his shoulder down. Looking forward to seeing how he continues to improve on this performance.
