Selected by San Diego Chargers
Round 7, pick 15 (229 overall)
BIO: Three-year starter used at both fullback and halfback. Totaled 124 carries for 563 yards with five scores as a senior, catching 16 passes for 106 yards. Team's leading ground gainer as a junior with 115-622-12.

POSITIVES: Big, strong, powerful runner who must learn to do the little things. Keeps his feet moving up the field as a ball carrier, displays vision and easily breaks tackles, picking up extra yardage off initial contact. Runs with intelligence and also dominant. Defenders bounce off him and a road grater who carries the pile. Displays solid blocking vision and destroys opponents when he puts his mind to it.

NEGATIVES: Not explosive at the point of attack which hampers his ability to finish blocks. Lacks soft hands and not a natural pass catcher.

ANALYSIS: Would rather carry the ball rather than block for the ball carrier. Could be a solid two way threat on offense as a lead fullback and short yardage runner but must pick up the tempo and intensity of his blocking duties.

PROJECTION: Early Fifth Round
