This is your '09 tOSU RB target and the title of this thread will be changing soon.

[/I]Film:

My Take: Gets downhill fast...excellent burst and deceptive speed. Smooth is the word that comes to mind...not overly flashy or a bruiser...just smooth. Seemed as though his cleats were always in the turf no matter what his upper half was doing. I like this one.

 

[starBUCKS]

I love it!! Great news!

Watched the film last week and knew the kid had it...I was just waiting for the thread to be made...

Can't say I disagree with anything that Grad posted about him in his evaluation...Think it is spot on...

If you guys haven't watched the film yet, get on it...

He and Caper would be amazing in terms of 2 backs in one class, but that is a lot to pull off...

I am sure that H&G has seen the kid live and curious as to what he thinks...

 

[ant80]

Sounds like a good prospect. Is he close to getting an offer?
How many RBs do you guys think we will take in '09?

Also, what does this mean on Bryce Brown front?

BK confirms the offer from tOSU.

 

[Meyer]

He seems very deceptive, slips through small spaces. Great initial burst, and very quick feet.

Great balance. Very good vision.

I love his film.

Thanks Grad very nice looking RB prospect and great name

 

[Yertle]

He's 17?!?!? He looks about 26. He must be drinking the same water as Greg Oden.

 

[Napoleonbuck]

Definitely looks lighter than his listed 200. He has speed to burn though. I'm not really sure we've had a running back like him in a while. He's a pure speed back IMO, but he's a runningback. I don't think he'll play slot receiver or scat back.

Impressive film though.

 

[wadc45]

This is a name I had thrown around a bit in some PMs...I think it was crazybuckfan40 I was talking to...love this offer...

 

[GrizzlyBuck]

Love the name, and the film is even better than the name. It is great to get an offer out early to him as well.

His running style reminds me a little of Jamal Lewis, short choppy steps helps him keep his balance on contact as well as allowing him to cut at nearly anytime. Deceptive speed as he is not a long strider, but still runs away from some guys.

Thanks for staying on top of things Grad and the BPRT.

 

[stowfan]

Not to be petty but the camera man sucks.

 

[cbrian815]

Great Film

Not an expert here or anything but watch his feet, he has great balance and can shift side to side without losing hardly any speed. He makes people miss, much like mike hart could do by using a great side step. He doesnt look 6'1 but he runs strong and has very good top end speed. I like this one, good offer. Hopefully we get him. Go Bucks

Watching his ScoutingOhio tape, the kid is so smooth in every cut he makes, makes it quickly and gets to the next level. Its like he cuts at full speed, its impressive.

This is the first time I've seen him, and I love his tape. I havent watched his Rivals yet, but I'm sure its mostly the same clips.
