I am ready to stop reffering to this role in our offense as the "Percy" role, and start calling it the "DESOTO" or "CURTIS" role!!

We never had Percy so it'll be kind of hard to replace him.

Simmer down. I am just excited we have some incoming studs, and we may not have to refer to a player from another program to describe this role in Urban's offense.

Curtis Samuel, running back at Erasmus Hall HS in Brooklyn, ready for senior season after committing to Ohio State
Samuel led the Dutchmen to a PSAL title last year and thinks he can do it again. Picking a school early has him relaxed and ready to go.

It's gut check time for Curtis Samuel, who wants to win a second straight PSAL title before leaving Erasmus Hall for Ohio State.
On a humid, late-August morning, Curtis Samuel is sprinting sideline-to-sideline, a parachute attached to his waist and trailing behind him. He’s busting it under the sun during a conditioning workout with his Erasmus Hall football teammates, the F train periodically chugging over McDonald Street on the west end of Sid Luckman Field.
These are the dog days of summer, but as his body exhausts, Samuel’s mind is at relative ease as one of the most electric offensive weapons the city has ever seen already has made a commitment to Ohio State.
No more visits, no more coaches knocking on his door, no more minute-by-minute recruitment updates on Twitter. It’s all school and football from here through December, when the senior hopes to lead the Dutchmen to their second consecutive PSAL city title, then graduate early and head to Columbus for the spring semester.
“I just wanted to get the commitment out of the way before the season started so I can focus on my senior year and help my team,” Samuel says, “so we can all work together to get back to the championship.”
The soft-spoken Samuel – ranked No. 44 in the nation in the class of 2014 by Rivals.com and the top-ranked player in the state – doesn’t make it seem like the decision was too difficult, either. Once Ohio State got involved, he knew in his heart he wanted to be. The 6-0, 185-pound running back-slot receiver, who had plenty of elite programs lusting after his defensive-back prowess as well, relished the opportunity to emulate the dynamic Percy Harvin, who thrived in Urban Meyer’s offense at Florida.

Has Dontre acceleration and top end speed, but with a little more size. His highlights are about as sick as they come...our offensive arsenal is going to be flat out scary (already is this year but it is going to continue).
