re: Class of 2018 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: So Long Old Friend Edition

Just watched his junior film. Nothing on that made me say 'he will never be a sec running back'. He's a tall back and runs kinda upright, so looks like leg tackles are quite effective on him (same could be said about Derrick Henry). He doesn't seem to push the pile as much as you would like for a back that big, but he also always seems to fall forward for the extra few yards. Looks like a good receiver, runs well after the catch. Long strider that deceptively covers a lot of ground, has some subtle shake in the open field. He doesn't have that 4th gear like Henry, where he's running away from the DBS when he gets going. Looks pretty good at getting skinny and making his initial cut. Hard to estimate speed on backs like him, but looks like maybe a mid 4.6 kinda guy. He doesn't look like a RB who's gonna set any sec records, but a year after getting najeee Harris (best looking RB coming out of hs since and probably including fournette) he's not a bad depth guy. Really just kinda looks like a poor man's Derrick Henry to me. Plus if he doesn't work out at RB hes got the frame and ranginess to make a good lb.
