[Irish Envy]

STRENGTHS: Having watched him in a combine setting and on film, I can see why coaches across the Southeast are already touting this quality runner as one of the best for the 2006 season.

As a line from scrimmage runner, he has quickness, strength and the ability to make things happen by creating holes when there aren't any. You very rarely get an open shot at him because he has that natural lean that great runners have.

As a tackle-to-tackle back, he has the strength to often break that first tackle and get to the next level of defense. That's where his speed and instincts take over. He darts and then glides and then opens up his speed when he hits daylight.

Perhaps the most impressive part of his game is his ability to catch the ball. His skills as a baseball player helps so much in matching up with a linebacker on passing downs. His quickness makes it almost unfair as not one linebacker that I watched even came close to covering him.

Looks like a very solid back... somewhat a hidden gem at this point.

All-State running back Adam Urbano got Calhoun on the board in the second quarter with a scintillating 75-yard scoring scamper. Scott Blair kicked the extra point slicing the deficit to 13-7, with 7:30 left until halftime.

Urbano, who finished the game with 113 yards on 11 carries, was plagued throughout the game with reoccurrence of an ankle injury. He did not play at all in the fourth quarter.
