Buckeyes number 1, followed by Florida.

He has a pretty unique running style for a RB. Really upright, though at the same time he's pretty darn shifty because he's super athletic. He jukes in and out of cuts like a person much shorter and lighter than him. Makes for a really interesting combination. Usually upright runners are prone to injury because so much of their body is exposed. Because he's so shifty, he's likely less injury prone than your average upright runner. If that weren't unique enough, it looks like he's got a great pair of hands.

Love the way this kid plays football. Whatever position he ends up playing at the next level, he's going to be really good at it. He just has that "Je ne sais qui" that Joey Bosa and Mike Mitchell have... pure unadulterated heart and hustle with talent to match. I hope we're the right school for him, because he looks like a fantastic weapon to add to this offense.

Reminds me of a quicker/faster Trey Burton from Florida. Great pair of hands and like you said he's really shifty considering his size. I hope we land this guy because he would really flourish in a system like ours.

Does Jalen have a visit set up?

Jalen Hurd's state-record pursuit stalled by injury

Beech's Jalen Hurd lowers his right shoulder after being injured during the fourth quarter against Wilson Central in Lebanon, Tenn., Friday, Oct. 5, 2012. Beech won 17-14. (JAE S. LEE / THE TENNESSEAN) / The Tennessean

Jalen Hurd?s pursuit of the state single-season rushing record has been put on hold because of a shoulder injury.

Beech coach Anthony Crabtree said Hurd was injured against Wilson Central two weeks ago and will not play on Friday against winless Lebanon.

Hurd, a 6-3, 210-pound junior, has 1,951 yards rushing for Beech (8-0, 5-0 9-AAA), which is ranked No. 1 in the Class 5A poll.

The state record of 3,068 yards was set last season by Powell?s Dy?Shawn Mobley.

?He's getting better every day,? Crabtree said. ?He won't play this week, as he's continuing his rehab. Hopefully he'll continue to get better.?

Beech closes the regular season against Gallatin (3-6, 2-4) next week and already has qualified for the playoffs.

Postseason games count toward state records. If Hurd returned next week, he would have to average 186.3 yards over six games if Beech made it all the way to the Class 5A championship game to set the record.

At his current average of 243.88 yards per game, Hurd would need five games to break the record.

Hurd did become Beech?s all-time single-season leading rusher against Wilson Central despite a season-low 77 yards on 21 carries. He passed David Corlew?s mark of 1,899 set in 1995.

Hurd has offers from Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt, among others.

6-foot-3, 210-pound Hendersonville (Tenn.) Beech Athlete Jalen Hurd

Early List: Florida, Ohio State, Alabama

The Skinny: Ohio State is currently the leader for the stand out junior. He visited Florida earlier this fall for a game and enjoyed the atmosphere of the game, but the Gators are still second on his list of favorites.
