[Buffnik]

One of his early FCS offers is Cal Poly, which points to his academics being very solid.

Absolutely blew up as a junior. STATS

You'd think he would have gotten more kickoff and punt returns with those numbers, but I guess you've got to save a guy like this a little bit so you're not taking him off the field during your offensive drive in order to give him a blow.

 

[Buffnik]

Chev, Hagan and Toyoma all recruiting.

 

[BuffLuke80]

Not too shabby rushing numbers lol. He stays at or around his his current height and puts on about 20 pounds, he won't be fun to tackle, probably wouldn't be right now.

Coordinators recruiting players, feels strange after the first five years of Mac's tenure.

"Doing work in SoCal" lol

 

[Duff Man]

He'll do.

 

[manhattanbuff]

Seeing his eye popping soph stats, you’d think he would plateau. Nope. He just smashed the whole world with a monster junior year. I hope the kid stays out of trouble, stays healthy, has a nice senior year, and commits to be a Buff.

Is Lawndale next to Palmdale?

Type lawndale CA into a search engine. Look for the map. Geography is fun.

So is Afroman. You, on the other hand, are not fun.

 

[CitizenKane]

That is one of the most fun highlight films I have watched in a long time...GET HIM, because playing against him would SUCK.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

I pity the teams that have to play him as a Senior. Should be the top priority at RB.

 

[BUFFset]

Close. *coughs*

 

[buffaholic]

Ridiculous highlights.

 

[lawdogg]

Ridiculous highlights.

Yeah, that was a fun watch.

 

[BUFFS14]

This kids looks like the real deal. Great feet, breaks tackles, nice break away speed, runs over guys if needed.
Add 15-20lb and he would be EB 2.0

 

[Duff Man]

Latest update from Biggins is that we may have a shot here. USC is the leader, but he likes us and Utah as well.

Big time player.

 

[BuffinCali]

I saw him play this year against Hawthorne (not a great team). He had over 120 yds in the first quarter and 2 TD's. Coach sat him down by the start of the 2Q. In person, he has very deceptive speed. He doesn't seem to have break away speed, however, once someone tries to close on him, he is by the defender in a flash. He is a special RB, plays with a mean streak - everyone in the stands was Ooh'ing and ahw'ing at his toughness. He literally will seek out a DB and run over him at times (love that nasty on field moxy, similar to that of Lindsay).

 

[JMBuffs]

Not to perpetuate the "rankings debate" but how the heck is this dude a 3*? Stats and tape seem to paint a pretty clear picture of elite prospect.

Yep, one of those low center of gravity dudes who can both truck and juke equally as well. Which I'm a big fan of.

OP hasn't been updated. He's a 4* composite on 247 (140 overall)

 

[manhattanbuff]

1. Doesn’t play for a big travel team.
2. Doesn’t have offers from the gamut of blue blood programs.
3. Doesn’t have enough writers for rating services banging the drum for him.

There are very different levels of 3* players.

 

[Buffnik]

There are very different levels of 3* players.

^^This

So much this.

I think there's a bigger difference between a low 3* vs a high 3* than there is a difference between a 4* vs a 5*.

[Not Sure]

Oh, please baby Jesus...


This kid is a playmaker. We need playmakers.

Edit: whoops, I misread, thanks to gooniebuff for the correction.

 

[GoonieBuff]

I really want this guy, but is this tweet for him? He's at Lawndale according to the above, and the school in the tweet says Palmdale. I looked, and the Palmdale area code is 661 as mentioned in the tweet, but the Lawndale area code is 310.

Hopefully he's also visiting Wilmore while in the LA area.
