| Scouting Report | Potential |
| With a little more polish, his pass catching ability should be among the best in the nation for a running back. Should eventually have enough breakaway speed to compete at this level. With a little more muscle, he'll break tackles on a regular basis. Given enough time, his running instincts will become fairly solid. |
