Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 64.91 (Role player)

Pro Comparison: Kylin Hill

Strengths:

Sudden, authoritative, speed-based RB with flashes of awesome balance/juking skill but more of a vision specialist than anything. Best on zone plays where he flash and find a lane and blast the accelerators. Will run away from a fair share of defensive backs at the next level. Really flies. In a zone-scheme he can be a big-play type. Violent cuts as a route runner and has natural hands. Can pluck away from his frame.

Weaknesses:

Not ultra-agile/elusive by any stretch. Contact balance is solid but not a true strength to his game, better deploying a spin or a subtle cut in the hole to make defenders miss altogether. Smaller frame.

Accolades:

  • 2021: Career-high 1,151 rush yards (fifth-most in Big Ten)
  • 2020: First-team All-Big Ten
