Summary

Very productive player for the Tigers that led ACC in rushing as sophomore and had very productive junior year before missing some time in 1997 but he still finished the season with 894 yds rushing and 6 TDs and also caught 14 passes...he is somewhat of a tweener and some teams are projected as an FB...he is a very aggressive and competitive runner and he is very efficient...he has good balance and a feel for the hole and does a nice job following his blockers and staying on his feet...he does not have great break away speed or an extra gear but he is a little sneaky in his production...he usually falls forward, rarely losses yards and makes good decisions...he shows nice toughness as an inside runner and will take what the defense gives him...he is not real nifty in the open field and lacks some COD and elusiveness and is not a guy that really flashes in terms of measureables...he is not really a true FB in terms of blocking ability and power and he is not quite nifty enough to be an RB because of his lack of speed and elusiveness...however he is a good football player that might fit in a one back style offense...he will likely find an NFL role as a special teamer and backup RB...the intangibles are good and his work ethic will keep him on the roster.
