South Carolina | Hometown: Rockledge, FL | HT: 6000 | WT: 217 | 40 time: 4.46 | Hand: 0938 | Arm: 3218 | Wing: 7714
Three-year starter. Spent three seasons at Arkansas prior to transferring to South Carolina in 2024. Two-time All-SEC, first team in 2022. Missed most of the 2023 season with a knee injury prior to switching SEC programs. Also had to nurse a shoulder injury in the spring of 2024. This led to him winning multiple awards for overcoming adversity, proving he could get back to the level of exciting play he showed early in his career. He is a one-cut runner with a no-nonsense approach to the game. Is physical and tough to bring down initially. The lack of creativity and lateral bounce within his arsenal creates a lot of losses. Will be a solid power back option who adds an element of speed if he does hit the open field, but there is not enough variety and suddenness to be considered a starter. Strong and fast downhill runner who falls forward. Stays within the structure of a play. Can read blocks and make good decisions when he gets space to work with. A reliable hands catcher who is better in space than traffic. Fumbles continue to be a problem. Lower body stiffness shows up when he needs to adjust quickly. Feet tend to get heavy. Does a poor job of locating leaks in pass protection.
2024 Stats: 881 yds, 4.8 ypc,11 TD, 27 rec, 316 yds, 11.7 ypr, 2 TD. OSR:11/27. Draft projection: 5th-6th round
