Not impressed by his video at all or his offer list


Other than BC, no other P5 offers other than a litany of FCS and nonP5 schools. Someone is inflating his stats on the recruiting websites. They state 6'0", 210 lbs, but he is probably closer to 5'10", and not more than 200 lbs. His speed is ok but not great at 4.55. His main running technique seems to be trying to outrun people to the edge of the field, except he's not fast enough for that and won't be at the Division I level. Had some decent runs inside but through some gaping holes created by his O-line. He seemed incapable of making the quick lateral cuts needed to make people miss and is essentially a straight line runner. I don't believe I saw him make a single tackler miss on a 1vs1 encounter, which is not a good thing and was constantly being run down from behind, also not good.

He's not a terrible recruit, and not any worse than anyone we have on the roster now other than King, but that says more about our current roster than it does about him. The one good thing I saw is that he is already close to the weight he needs to play currently and we won't see his mobility get significantly worse as it has with McClease, after he gained 30 lbs.

Should we be offering 2 tailbacks in a year with so few scholarships? I can understand if these guys are blue chips, but they are not. The roster management makes no sense.
