Has elite vision, reads his blocks, and sees the seams so well. Also knows when to get north/south and when to get shifty. Exciting prospect.

After watching his film and Lacy's HS film, I'm definitely confident that I compared the two. Honestly, Tony might be a little better. Now it's up to Tony and Denson to get him beyond Lacy levels. I want a mega Lacy back! CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG!!!

Awesome pick up! Excited to get him on board so early in the process. This kid's ratings will only soar after more camps. I love the hard work our coaches are putting in.

I love bringing in a kid who cam throw a block. Try arm tackling this guy in a few years and end up in a cast. I think this dude could be a stud. Go Irish!

Who is the last back we had who could truck a defender? Hughes maybe? But I'm not sure if he actually ever trucked anybody.

I just watched his film for the first time and the best part was the blocking, ha. Great pickup--good speed on a bigger body.

Robert Hughes for sure.
I think Jonas Gray might have knocked a few guys down in his time too.

Must be. I am going to head into the VA and see if my counselor is available to figure this out. I need to be able to concentrate more on spring ball and all this 16 recruit info. Who knows, with a little time management training I might even have time for my wife and kids!

For his size, Theo was one tough dude. He might not have trucked people, but definitely the hardest, toughest runner I think ND has had in a while.

Welcome to the family Tony!!

With Folston & Bryant there, Dexter coming in June, and Tony for 2016 Denson has the right cards to play and keep recruiting in FL for running backs.
