Forced into the starting lineup as a junior and responded with a career high 338/1,915/19 carrying the ball, adding 10/100/0 as a receiver. Also started eleven games as a true freshman finishing with 200/983/7 on the ground.

POSITIVES: Tough, durable interior runner capable of being a feature back. Combines power and speed as well as running instincts. Sees the field, patient and follows blocks. Easily keeps his feet off the initial hit, runs low to the ground and keeps chugging up the field. Powerful, picks up a lot of yardage off initial contact and tough on the inside. Gets around tackles displaying the speed and agility to beat defenders to the flanks. Competitive, plays with an aggressive style and gets stronger as the game progresses, taking important handoffs deep into the fourth quarter. Improved his tenacity as a blocker last season.

NEGATIVES: Lacks a burst through the hole and overall explosion. Cannot quickly cut back against the grain and not a runner who creates if nothing's available. Did not distinguish himself at the Senior Bowl and looked slow.

ANALYSIS: A talented ball carrier productive anywhere on the field, XXX possesses the size and speed to be a starting feature back at the next level. May have dispelled the belief that he is not fast enough after timing to a 4.52 at the Combine. Must improve the finer details of his position but a solid first-day pick that could crack a starting lineup by the end of his rookie campaign.

BIO: Two-year starter and second team All-Conference selection last year. Played in only X games as a redshirt junior after suffering a broken wrist in the season opener against Xxxxxxx, but still finished the year with xx/xxx/xx/xx. Totaled xx/xxx/xxx/x as a sophomore and xx/xxx/xxx/x the prior year. Occasionally saw action as a return specialist through college.

POSITIVES: Speedy wideout prospect still developing his game. Fluid releasing off the line of scrimmage, quick out of his pass routes and naturally comes back to the ball. Fast in either a straight line or laterally, stretches the defense and gets downfield behind defenders. Extends for the high throw and plucks the ball out of the air. Excellent body control, adjustment and positions himself nicely to make the catch. Displays solid eye/hand coordination, looks the ball in and catches the pass away from his body. Times and anticipates his deep receptions well showing the ability to get up vertically for the reception and make the catch in a crowd. Also reads the defense, gets open and makes himself an available target for the quarterback.

NEGATIVES: Not strong and has difficulty with big, physical corners.

ANALYSIS: Production numbers have never been outstanding which is more a result of his injury last season and depth the Xxxxxxxxx program traditionally has at the receiver position. May need time to develop at the start of his career but a top prospect with a large amount of upside potential that should eventually grow into a solid Number 1 receiver.
