Just watched his short highlight film from this year... I must say I'm a little worried with his tendency to run backwards. When his offense got him going downhill he looks fast and powerful but at the next level he won't be able to dance around in the backfield like he did many times.

I'm sure he will find this out though on day one when he tries to bounce wide on the silver bullets though lol

I think most HS RBs realize that in college. Dobbins did a lot of dancing as well in HS

I agree. The coaches will get him going down hill once he gets here. Very few can get away with all that dancing in the backfield at the next level unless u r super shifty and have that extra special gear that most don't possess.

He'll push Teague to continue to improve which is why Williams had to transfer. There's just too much talent to guarantee anyone but Dobbins playing time and Weber in his last year. This is gonna be fun

Buckeye Football Freshman Focus: Running Back Brian Snead

Brian-Snead-Focus.jpg


For his lofty recruiting ranking, Brian Snead has been one of quieter out-of-state recruitments in recent Ohio State football memory.

Snead, ranked the No. 3 running back in the 2018 recruiting class, visited OSU for Friday Night Lights last year, committed the day after, took his official visit in October, and signed in December.

The lack of drama was almost boring.

The Buckeyes would have loved to have Snead (5-11 200) in for spring football, but he won’t enroll until this summer. The timing puts him behind fellow true freshman Master Teague on the depth chart, but he’ll have all of fall camp and beyond to make a move.

What To Like
Brian Snead is a compact runner who doesn’t waste a lot of motion. He has the ability to keep plays alive, but forward is always the preferred plan of attack.

Snead’s balance allows his patience to pay off as he glances off of tacklers as blockers emerge just in time. He may not have the top-end speed yet of current Buckeyes Mike Weber, J.K. Dobbins, and Master Teague, but he will get faster.

When he does, he will be able to combine his new-found abilities with the skills he already possesses, such as his ability to make defenders miss.



A one-on-one situation should usually be a win for an Ohio State running back, and Snead has shown that he is not easy to bring down.

While he could get away with running backward a bit in high school, that ends when he arrives on campus. The speed in college is too good to make retreat a favored tactic.

Snead shouldn’t have a problem only being pointed in one direction, especially when he tries to reverse field a time or two in practice and is dropped for a loss of eight yards. He will learn quickly.

For the most part, however, Snead is going to head toward the line of scrimmage where the play is designed. Inside the red zone, he has a knack for bringing those designs to life. He isn’t easy to hit, and when he is, he is strong enough to knife forward for that last yard.
