Listed at 220 last year. So a 12 pound increase.

They turning him into a more true power back? Can't figure how he might not be a tad slower at that weight, but with the poundage, can probably shed more tackles.

Definitely the size to power it in at the goal line like a real offense.

Crockett wasn't really a speed back last season.

There was an interview with him several weeks ago and he said something about wanting to gain some weight; I don't think he'll keep it on all year but it'll be good not to get too small for the SEC games.

It wasn't like he was a newer version of the "Sikeston Train" last year. Not very fast either! Maybe at 232 he can run over somebody without getting injured this year. Time will tell. If not, we can always call him "Pork Chop!"

Lol. I'd be willing to call him Pork Chop anyway whenever we play the Hogs.

Or, I guess maybe the Butcher, the Grill Master, or the Hog Roaster might be better nicknames.

But seriously, it'll be nice to have a RB can bring the thunder.

Who's going to be our speedy lightning back tho? Ish I suppose, though I wish we had a faster scat back like a Murphy or a Josey to pair with him.

I guess this guy might have to be our speed back if he's not redshirted. He looked pretty decent in the spring game.

Yes, Miller can get to the edge! With 3 backs in the stable already, I imagine BO will redshirt him.
