Junior entry, three-year starter. Two-time first team All-ACC and two-time All-America. Arrived at Chapel Hill two years after breaking his ankle. He was wanted by everybody, but he opted to stay loyal to the in-state program that showed him loyalty after the injury. Was productive all three seasons, leaving as the program’s fourth all-time leading rusher. An every down, every situation contributor who will add multiple dimensions to an offense. Breaks tackles with brute physical force and elite contact balance. The only back with over 1,000 yards after contact each of the past two seasons. He is a threat for explosive plays every time he touches the ball. Only two backs have more rushes of 10+ yards since the start of 2023. Has been a consistent weapon for the passing game. Caught 72 of 80 passes thrown his way with just two career drops. This is a back with an old school, bruiser mentality who also possesses the modern desires of explosive potential and air attack contributions. Built with prototype mass below the waist but not at the expense of speed. Can burst upfield in a blink with the final gear to outrun defensive backs. Can “see hole, hit hole” with aggression, power, and balance. Will bounce off contact and often remains standing at the blow of a whistle near the sideline. Will be the aggressor when approaching would-be tacklers downhill. Stays hungry and low to the ground after contact. Picks up hidden yards. Chain mover with rare speed for a player of his size. Pure hands catcher with a quick burst north after he gets the ball. Immediate violence as a blocker who takes pride in that element of the game. Excellent sustainability with proper hand contact and bend. Does not show a lot of wiggle. Lateral change of direction is rigid without burst. Does not always anticipate creases in the defense. Needs to see it before he goes through it.
