Two-year starter that led the team in rushing both his senior and junior seasons. First team All-Conference selection last year when his ground numbers were 258/1,169/4.5/14 and receiving totals were 20/138/6.9/0. Rushing numbers were 229/1,237/5.4/8 as a junior when he also caught 25/211/8.4/0.
Competitive, situational prospect best as a third down back at the next level. Runs with vision, patience and waits for his blocks to develop. Finds the running lanes, quick cutting it back and has a slashing style, displaying elusiveness when the ball is in his hands. Works his runs, finds the small creases in the defense and gets through them. Runs low to the ground with balance, gives effort when asked to block in pass protection and caught the ball well during Senior Bowl practices. Not quick through the hole, has difficulty beating defenders around the corner and cannot run to daylight. Running lacks strength as he does not pick up much yardage off initial contact. Pass catching skills make him a good late round choice. Mid Sixth Round.
