Roll tide!

Good deal. He was injured and only played three games as a junior. I have a good feeling his ranking will go up significantly if he has a healthy senior year. Going to get 2 RB's this week and the next two weeks are going to be massive. Welcome and RTR

Sort of reminds me of the Eddie Lacy situation when he was a recruit. Turned out to be a great one along with Trent Richardson.

Good point on Lacy/Richardson. I found his highlight video on youtube and like the way he hits the hole. We got a sleeper in this kid.

I went with Brian Robinson as my comp mostly due to his video showing his strength and running through contact easily, size as well.

But he is much faster hitting the hole than Robinson was at this stage and shows some real home run hitting speed.

The QB for that team looks like a DE.

Thing that stood out to me is he constantly had two or three "would be" tacklers and they always seem to be falling at his feet or sliding off his legs like he has grease on them.

Good sign of an elusive, difficult-to-tackle RB!
