Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 77.83 (Chance to start)

Pro Comparison: Myles Gaskin

Strengths:

Decently twitched-up speed back with nice vision and big-play capabilities. Not an elite burner but will run away from some defenders down the field at the NFL level. More of a one-cut slasher but will find lanes down the field. Absorbs contact well despite not being a super-thick back. Hands are decent, too. Hits extra gear through the second level and is deceptively fast. Underrated back who can be productive as a starter in relief appearance or in a full-time role as a secondary type.

Weaknesses:

Contact balance is good, not great. Not crazy elusive. Won't make NFL defenders miss on a regular basis.

Accolades:

  • 2021: Third-team All-ACC
  • 2021: Second in ACC in yards per carry (6.2)
