Assets
  • A powerful and productive lead back who can carry an offense for stretches. Very consistent game-in, game-out. Can pound it inside and isn't afraid of contact. Cuts back pretty well. Flashes solid hands in the receiving game.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have great speed or a lot of elusiveness. His straight-forward style makes somewhat him injury-prone. Has been in trouble off the field fairly regularly in his career.
Career Potential
  • Star tailback.
  • AwardsNCAA - Doak Walker Award (Nation's top junior or senior running back)
