Why South Carolina? “They’re building something different. I think I want to be a part of it.”
Scouting report from On3: Productive runner with a strong combination of size and speed that points to bellcow upside. Listed at 5-foot-11, 210. Well-built for the position, carrying mass in his lower body. Laid down some impressive track times as a junior, highlighted by a personal best of 10.79 seconds in the 100 meters. Turned in a very productive season as a senior, rushing for 2,086 yards and 27 touchdowns at 8.1 yards per carry in 11 games. His 189 yards per game is among the best in the 2024 cycle. Shows good vision. Sets up his blocks and runs with considerable patience. Knows when to hit the hole and get north-south. Shows his play speed once at the second level, where he’s able to pull away from defensive backs for long touchdown runs. Effectively shrugs off arm tackles. Can drag defenders for extra yardage. Also plays defense, showing impressive stamina. Would likely be even better if he weren’t playing so many snaps on both sides of the ball. Can show more wiggle to create extra yardage when the play is not ideally blocked. Could also stand to work on lowering his pad level.
