Camar Wheaton

Looks every bit of listed size with prototypical running back build. Will easily eclipse 200-pound plateau and should naturally maintain athleticism at heavier weight. Big-play back with outstanding top-end speed verified in track environment (10.6's as a sophomore). Showed improved short-area fluidity in junior season. Displays enough agility in the hole to make an initial move to make first defender miss. Open-field galloper who won't get run down from behind. At his best as north-south hole-puncher with game-breaking speed in the open field, but flashes encouraging one-cut ability as well. Respectable production but numbers aren't staggering. Limited pass-catching opportunities. Gets bounce-happy at times. First-level agility is improved, but doesn't string together moves at second level (though, admittedly, usually doesn't need to). Gears down a bit when changing directions. Big-play threat on every touch and is among the nation's top 2021 running back prospects with long-term early-round NFL Draft ceiling.
