RB/WR/DB Demario McCall (Official Thread)

[OSU_Buckguy]

Yeah, that's how I always viewed him. And why I'd still love to see 2 true RB's taken this recruiting cycle. Becuase if he's a hybrid then the stable is pretty bare for true RB's. Not that he can't take hand off's at 200 lbs but the real power of the position is when lined up with a power back, etc. as needed. Hard for a defense to scheme for that.

yeah, it's certainly not earth-shattering that mccall was expected all along to be a samuel-type player, but at least meyer appears to be confirming it.

in regards to having a set of "conventional" backs, the need for size will especially be the case if barrett departs and burrow takes over next season. even haskins is more of a pro-style quarterback. samuel's abilities are exploited with a smart, mobile quarterback who's proficient with the read-option, which is not to say, however, that mccall wouldn't shine with a traditional quarterback taking snaps.

Stealing it from 247, but Run DMC is a pretty damn good nickname for him.

reminds me a little of DeAnthony Thomas...similar size, moves, speed...can catch and run for tds...

yep...one game against bowling green and the black mamba comparisons are already starting...

He reminds me so much of DeAnthony Thomas from Oregon a few years back.

I like the way you think

Steve Slaton is the perfect resemblence to me... boy does McCall have moves at a whim though. The spin move he put on was nasty

Quick, quick feet. Hell add in another quick to that.

Darren McFadden held that title last I knew. But it's been nearly 10 years so I'd say time to recycle it.

Yep...I said the same thing. First carry actually. I said, that looked just like Steve Slaton!

Urban says he's about 185 right now and he wants him to get up to 200.

2 things: curious/ excited to see how he plays after a year with Marotti and if he's 185 right now I'll shit in my hat

DMC has to be like 5% body fat so I bet that 185 number is accurate. No doubt he will get to 195-200 and once he does my God will he be dangerous.

Guys with his shake and bake don't come around often. Steve Slaton/Reggie Bush type of style though for sure

Also reminds me of Deanthony Thomas from Oregon

This guy is going to be a star. He just looks like he plays at a different speed.

A full year in the S&C program, and I don't see how Mike Weber holds him off next season.

He has a ton of potential but he is doing it in the third and fourth quarter when the game isn't on the line. I wonder if he is more of a Samuel/H back replacement in the long run or if he stays as running back?

 

[scarletngray]

The real deal right there!
