H.S. Scouting Report
Evaluated 10/19/2018
Projection
Power-5 StarterPotentially position-versatile recruit with size/frame that translates to both sides of the ball. Muscular, athletic build akin to that of a bigger back, an off-the-line linebacker, or an in-the-box safety - depending on scheme. Owns enough frame space for additional bulk. Has posted terrific verified testing numbers (4.48 40, 4.23 shuttle, 38.3 vertical). Primarily played running back as a junior and owns college-ready size for that spot. Very intriguing option at running back. Pairs impressive size and outstanding testing numbers with a fairly natural feel at RB. Primarily north-south runner, but shows enough wiggle in the hole to make the first defender miss. Flashes ability to run through arm tackles. Impressive long speed provides home run-hitting ability. Dangerous jump-cutter who can take the one-cut run the distance. Can improve initial burst. Perhaps more of a speed-builder than a speed-burster. Sometimes unnecessarily bounces runs to the perimeter. Height and upright gait provide bigger target for defenders. Needs to play lower with better pad level. Limited pass-catching experience and needs to become a better hands catcher. Possesses terrific combination of size and athleticism. Long-term positional home is not set in stone, but owns lots of potential in the backfield, where he could become an all-conference performer with development.
