Fourth-year collegian moved in and out of the lineup since he was a true freshman. Finished his senior campaign with 94/395/4.2/1 rushing, 41/445/10.9/2 receiving and averaging 2/31/0 returning kicks. Junior rushing numbers were 125/678/5.4/5 with 26/218/8.4/1 catching the ball.

Versatile offensive skill prospect that can be used in a number of formations. Elusive when the ball is in his hands, displays good footwork and finds the open spot in the defense. Runs low to the ground, gets lost behind the lineman and sees the field, squirting through the small openings. Impacts the game returning kicks and also a solid receiver out of the backfield. More quick than fast, lacks the corner speed and easily brought down on initial contact. Potentially a third down back at the next level and a prospect that must build upon the flashes he's shown as a return specialist if he wants to play next year on Sundays. Free Agent.
