The guy has impressive HUDL highlights. Ran for 357 yards and 3 rushing TDs in the game last week. And he's only a sophomore. Plays in Texas' class 6A, the class with the largest highschools.

5'11 and 210 pounds as a sophomore is crazy, and he definitely looks every bit of it in his film. How old is he? Could grow out of the position, although he obviously has fantastic athleticism

Kid spoke pretty highly of Nebraska. Sounds like he feels he should have more offers by now and is appreciative of having one from us and SMU. Plays in smaller Texas football sounds like? Says he's a north south runner and not much of a cutter. Man was he right. Kid almost looks for the contact. Has enough wheels to get passed people but he's not going to be breaking any ankles. Reminds me of what we hope Ozigbo could be and has shown from time to time. Physicality in between the tackles should definitely be something we look for, especially in the Big 10. This guy would fit the bill. Just doesn't have the flare a lot of people will be hoping for.

 

If Graham Roberts stays on the offensive side of the ball, he may be too similar of a running style to consider I'd think. Although I'm not sure we are in a place to be turning backs down at this point.

 

Sounds like TCU has the potential to be a front runner if they offered?

 

 

Edit: Looks almost like an Ozigbo clone. 5'11 and both over 200 pound bull dozers from small level Texas football.

He actually plays at the largest level of Texas football.

Johnson? Maybe I misread it

unless his profile is wrong and he goes to another school, Frenship high school is class 6A and has over 2600 students

[spurs1990]

Makes sense. He said West Texas is a smaller area with less ranked recruits. I just took that and ran with it without researching. Whoops!

[Nebfanatic]

Personally I really like this kid and think while he is in the same mold as Ozigbo and Graham Roberts, I would rather have him than Graham specifically but I think he is also a better prospect than Ozigbo was

I like our visit time slot better than the Thursday spot for OU.
