Running Back

Northwestern

Wisconsin

Slippery running back who can stride out and eat yards with ease but is also capable of maneuvering between the tackles with exceptional body control and balance. Solid build and density throughout his frame, should add some substantial weight at next level. Measures in at nearly 5-foot-11, 190 pounds. Ran 11.40 in the 100m during his junior track and field season. Comfortable pass catcher, shows he can catch the ball in traffic and away from his frame. High ceiling prospect who can become a three-down weapon at the next level. Just needs to add some weight to his frame and maintain his burst and twitch. First team All-State following his 2022 senior season. Won a conference championship in wrestling in the 189-pound weight class.
