Gap/duo power run game, designed to create displacement at the point of attack and utilize strong, downhill runners.
Year 1: Primary lead blocker and special teams contributor; Ceiling: Short-yardage and goal-line specialist with occasional receiving work out of the backfield.
Any spread RPO or Air Raid system heavily reliant on explosive, elusive backs and minimal lead blocking.
A traditional fullback whose primary value lies in clearing paths for other ball carriers, best suited for power-running schemes.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
