Class: 2020
Position: Running Back
Size: 5-8, 185 pounds
40-yard dash: 4.58 seconds

Coach Lance Stone:
“He does everything the right way. He works out hard, he practices hard, plays hard. He’s just a guy you want on the team.
“He’s got some of the best vision and balance of a running back I’ve coached or seen in a long time. There’s a lot of plays you think he’s going down to the ground and he puts his hand down or torques his body and he stays up and takes off and keeps running. He’s just a special guy. “
