Boren is a tough two way player from an athletic family. He is a real bull at 6'1" and 240 pounds. He should be a very good fullback at the collegiate level. Is a power back in short yardage and is hard to bring down but rarely breaks off a big run. Hits the line of scrimmage with shoulders square and fights for every inch. Should be an effective fullback as a straight ahead iso or kick out blocker. Question ability to be a consistent pass protector due to limited mobility. As a linebacker is an excellent tackle to tackle run stopper. Attacks the line of scrimmage and is instinctive at reading the offense. Shows toughness taking on lead blockers but at times has trouble getting off blocks. Is more effective disengaging when hands are used to keep separation from blocker. Lateral pursuit is decent but has trouble versus the cutback. Good timing on the blitz and is difficult to block when he has a head of steam. Pass drops are limited to the hook zones; doesn't have the foot agility to play man to man coverage. Boren is destined to be a fullback at the collegiate level. He should be an effective run down and short yardage fullback. He's a tough and physical football player that gives great effort. He could play linebacker or fullback at smaller schools. It would be difficult for him to be a linebacker at a larger school.
Notes
Hopes to graduate from high school early. Committed during junior year. May attempt to play baseball in college as well. 2007: Recorded 182 tackles and three interceptions. Rushed for 200 yards and four touchdowns. Also recruited by Toledo, Kent State. Brother of Class of 2006 ESPN 150 guard Justin Boren, who signed with Michigan in 2006 but is set to transfer to Ohio State...
Just speculating.
