Two-year starter that's had a rocky career in college. Played five games last season and finished the year with 63/263/4.2/0, also catching 6/49/8.2/0 but suffered an ankle injury during the early part of the season which hampered him the entire campaign. Led the conference in rushing as a junior with 210/1,028/4.9/9, adding 8/81/10/0 catching the ball. Sat out the entire '99 campaign after he was charged then convicted of misdemeanor assault. Came on strong as a true sophomore with rushing totals of 112/708/6.3/4. Used to return kicks in the past. Suffered a major knee injury during the Grid Iron Classic this January at will be out for an extended period.

Athletic runner with both vision and instincts who know has an uphill climb. Runs with forward lean, displays excellent footwork and quick cutting it back or making defenders miss in a single stride. Sees the field, follows blocks and finds the hole. Easily avoids piles and bounces it to the outside, displaying a burst of speed. Works his runs, looking and playing like a natural runner. Has both size and power and plays faster than his 40-time. Less than average pass catching skills out of the backfield and not effective if asked to block. Seemed to be on the right path after his suspension but the injury to his ankle early last season coupled with the knee injury sustained in January now puts his future in doubt. Free Agent.
