Vince R. Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) I love this kid's film. There is an attribute that I want people to watch when he runs. You'll see a subtle bounce when he's toting the rock. I know that sounds a little crazy because he is running, but if you train your eye to notice, you'll see it. It is an attribute that says a lot about the players agility and movement. Yes he is fast, but the other important part is that he has tremendous balance. This allows him to curve and change direction without it being obvious. It is a defenders nightmare. Edited March 23, 2018 by Vince R. 4 Quote Link to comment

Seems to get good blocks out of the wishbone and gets through first level quick. Intriguing prospect. 2 Quote Link to comment

Thanks_Tom RR Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 For those upset about not being in with Hall, I'm Bivens you one solid reason to temper yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Recovering from a knee injury and has academic concerns. Wiltfong also thinks talent wise he might be the best back in the Midwest. 3 Quote Link to comment

I wonder what the severity of his injury is. If his grades are an issue, it makes sense then as to why Nebraska doesn't talk to him daily. Quote Link to comment

84HuskerLaw Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Excellent RB. He blocks, runs quick, decisive, hard to get to his feet, doesn't run out of bounds and likes to cut back, makes people miss and out runs almost everybody. Near perfect size already. Can likely carry another 10 or even 15 pounds. Reads the holes exceptionally well. Good hands, etc. He fits the bill for NU perfectly in my view. Most of his highlights are runs to the right side but the few to the left, he holds ball in left hand instinctively well 1 Quote Link to comment
