5102, 223, 4.56


Notes: From Westerville, OH. Played in 13 games as a true freshman, rushing for 1,091 yards and 13 touchdowns on 186 carries (5.9 avg.) and caught 2 passes for 39 yards in 2016. Played in 13 games, rushed 262-1,333-19 (5.1 avg.) and caught 10-72 in 2017. Played in 13 games, rushed 289-1,449-16 (5.0 avg.) and caught 17-105 in 2018.

Positives: Very tough and competitive. Good vision for daylight. Fine instincts to navigate through traffic. Very good balance and determination. Stays on his feet, has good body lean and after-contact surge. Breaks tackles. Reliable receiver. Effective on blitz pickup. Has been very durable and a workhorse.

Negatives: Average burst and acceleration and breakaway long speed. Lacks make-you-miss cutting ability or elusiveness. More a check-down receiver than challenge in coverage.

Summary: Highly productive downhill runner in a zone/gap scheme who can play all three downs but lacks truly magical qualities.
