Another promising young player who will be battling for time at tailback when practice resumes in August ... Picked up a lot of reps at the position during the spring, following injuries to Kenny Lewis, Jr., and Jahre Cheeseman ... Is a special player when he can turn himself loose ... Has the size, has the speed and has the shake and bake ... Needs to get better in his pass protection and in running his routes, but that should come with addtional reps ... Needs to have a good summer to be ready for preseason workouts ... Has an opportunity to contribute early in his Tech career.
