First-year starter that finally broke through and lived up to the expectations. Second team All- Conference choice as a senior after posting career rushing numbers of 232/1,257/5.4/15 and also catching 11/117/10.6. Played behind Derek Combs the prior season and ground numbers were 122/546/4.5/6 with seven receptions.
Tough, interior runner who may be just hitting his stride. Improved every aspect of his game as a senior; showed vision, patience and overall running instincts. Sees the field, follows blocks or bounces it to the outside avoiding piles. Runs with forward lean, slides off defenders and strong in his lower body displaying the ability to pick up yardage off initial contact. Not quick footed but can dart side-to-side and has some wiggle through the hole. Gives top effort whether or not the ball is in his hands, blocking for both the running and passing game. Lacks a burst through the hole and overall speed. Not effective during Senior Bowl practices when lined up as a true fullback. Forty-times prior to the draft will dictate much; a good clocking will help him sneak into the middle part of the second frame, but may be a better fit in the latter part of day one. Mid Third Round.
