Sam was a nice surprise on the day, stepping up and showing out against strong competition to make 1st Team All Offense for the showcase. An athletic compact build RB who was poised with the question of how he would handle himself in 1v1s…and he shined. Sam was a sharp route runner, able to easily separate from defenders and get into open space for run after the catch. Showing excellent hands, Sam tracks the pass well and can make the difficult catch with a defender all over him. He is also dynamic with the ball in his hands. In RB drill work he had good burst, quick cut ability with good center of balance. Sam showed he is a versatile utility RB who can run between the tackles and be a playmaker in the passing game. Look for him to have a breakout junior season next fall.
