Scouting Notes
The lead back — a productive two-level runner who went for 832 yds and 13 TD at South Alabama, then 677 yds and 6 TD in his first SEC season at Mississippi State (a 4-star transfer, No. 112 in the portal). Proven, three-down, and the clearest offensive weapon; the grade is an honest RB-devalued read on real production.
