H.S. Scouting Report

Projection

Power 4 Starter

Good build with above average height. Will easily play north of 200 pounds in college thanks to long-levered frame and bulking capacity.

Excellent track athlete. Won North Carolina D-I state championships in the 100 meters and 200 meters as a junior in May 2022.

Initial downhill acceleration reflective of that speed. First 10-20 yards are explosive. Displays adequate short-area agility at lower gears. Gains yardage after contact despite upright gait.

Good production as a junior with 900-plus rushing yards on encouraging per-carry rate (8.7). Also showed pass-catching ability in limited opportunities, played significant defensive snaps, and contributed in return game.

Open-field gear generally not reflective of outstanding sprint data (sub-11.00 100, sub-22.00 200). Can squeeze more of that track juice out at the top end. Stiff-hipped at times and gears down to redirect at higher speeds. Testing data across multiple offseasons has been mixed.

Power Five-caliber running back prospect with impressive physical tools and hard-to-beat track profile. May need time to develop, but the long-term ceiling could be particularly high -- that of an impact college player, possible NFL Draft candidate -- if everything comes together.
