Dad and Jr attended UGA/KY game yesterday. If he's got dad's skill, he'll be an asset to UGA. Edited for correction

He's a receiver, not a RB like his father.

He plays both RB and WR, listed on 247 as an APB similar to Swift.

He's still very young. He could definitely fill out by the time he gets to college but he's not a big kid. At the size he is now, one would have to think he will play more of a IMac or Hardman role in college.

Actually he is both. he lines up in the backfield and takes handoffs, and also lines up in the slot like Swift.

I watched his film, and he has good speed and balance. he changes directions well. I know he plays in Texas, but the competition level I saw in his film looked very suspect. At times, I saw defensive players throwing themselves down at OLinemen feet in the open field. It was strange looking.

He also lines up as a wide out. He's one of those athletes that is just much more talented than his competition. He will be a good slot receiver in college.

I didn't notice that. Good catch! I didn't watch his entire video. Maybe half?

Also I goo point. It's really hard to tell, sometimes.
His speed seemed obvious, as did his ability to change direction and vision. It's very possible that he is making them look bad. In fact, since he is playing in Texas, I would think your observation is much more reliable than mine.

Do you mean as in permanent, or like Swift?
He is only a sophomore, and at 180LBS, it seems he will be closer to 200LBS as a senior. No guarantees, but that would be big for a slot if he does continue to grow.

HUDL highlight shows both RB and WR. Kids got incredible balance.
