Two-year starter rotated with the first unit last season. Led the team in rushing as a junior in 2001 totaling 185/1,091/5.9/6, while also catching 15/83/5.5/0. Impacted as a sophomore, his first season as the feature running back, when he ran for 293/1,368/4.7/8 and caught 32/327/10.2/2, on his way to winning second team All-Conference honors.
Instinctive back lacking the great physical skills. Runs with vision, sets up and follows his blocks and finds the running lanes. Works his runs, puts his shoulder into the opponent and picks up the extra yardage on the way down. Makes defenders miss in the short field and possesses adequate hands as a pass catcher. Not a nifty or nimble back, lacks the corner speed and not overly elusive. Game lacks explosion and not a ballcarrier who runs over defenders and picks up a lot of yardage off initial contact. Made a questionable decision leaving school early and the end result could see him going undrafted. Free Agent.
