Dad was the best RB ever at State before he blew his knee out,

I will second that. Fair was built in the mold of Bo Jackson, Marcus

Dupree or Herschel Walker. Big strong back that could absolutely fly. Guy was NFL material. Ashamed what happened to him!

 

[Coach 57]

David Sr. was the most incredible athletic specimen i have ever put my eyes on. He's a little bit older than me, played with his cousin Carl at SHS. One day in the film room we watched some old video of David absolutely destroying teams from around the state. Carl was one he'll of a player too. Later I saw their cousin Tanny Flowers emerge and pick up where Carl left off. Then in 09-11 coached Carl's son Shaun. Now watching David's son. It's ridiculous to have genes like theirs. The crazy thing is their dad was a SHS legend in Starkville too. He was dubbed "white rabbit" on how damned fast he was too. Wish David Jr. all the best and hope he breaks the mold and takes it deep to the next level.

Carl Trainer was call White Rabbit,When he was a kid wore leg weights everywhere

by the time he was in HS His thighs and legs were Earl Campbell looking but was short in height. Still lives in Starkville. David Fair Had small legs from the knees down reminded me of Marcus Dupree had a great spin move which left him vulnerable and this is how he got hurt.

No the way he got hurt was a late push out of bounds that jack knifed him over the bench. His body went over the bench while his feet stayed planted.

I'd rather he walk-on here than go the JUCO route. We have the medical staff and weight training staff that could rehab him that a JUCO just couldn't match. Hope Sr. takes that into account.
