STRENGTHS:This is one of the football players that you watch and shake your head at the fact that he was only 15 when he was doing some of those impressive things on the football field.

On one run against Poolesville, Austin broke to the right side, cut back in and then darted for an open hole and then he was off to the races. As the defensive backs appeared to close on him, he left little doubt that he was not only a gifted freshman football player, but one who could take it the distance at any time. The run covered 97 yards and made me a believer that he will be one to keep an eye on for years to come.

I watched some five other clips of him running, catching the ball and blocking. I was impressed at his skill level, and the bio that accompanied the tape told of how he is just scratching the surface of his overall ability. I believe it – big time!

Looks like he could be a big time prospect.

same high school as Arrelious Benn, that could be a big plus.

It's a different Dunbar. I live in MD. Considering how Benn turned out, its probably better that way anyhow..

Anyways, Austin made the local news this week. Had a huge game in which he rushed for 2 TD's as well as returned a fumble 60 yards for a TD. Looked like a man among boys.

With Illinois stealing all our recruits we might want to start going after this kid early on.

WoW!!!!!!

 

[IrishDon103]

Yeah...he's the real deal.

Don't worry too much about Illinois though, I don't think they'll steal too many out of state kids in the future.

That looked like Reggie Bush against ND. That was entertaining - thanks

Am I the only one who wants to find the parents who made that tape with the Superman Theme song and punch them in the mouth? What a freakin joke! Kid's got talent, BUT did you all see the same defenses I saw. Good God, my one legged friend, Lucky, could have gotten through those defenses for at least 100 a game. Nice runs, but let's not don this kid the next Gale Sayers or Jim Brown just yet.

if you want to see this kid for real go to you tube and type in tavon austin!

This kid runs a lot like Lorenzo Booker. For a sophomore he's got skills. If he learns to run more physically, look out.

I saw some clips of this kid on you tube and it was hard to beleive that he is only a Junior, he was running all over the competition. If the Irish don't go after this kid there is something wrong with them.

Tavon is a hell of a player....and will make a lot of teams better.

But, he is no where near 6'....maybe 5'8".

Tearing it up right now for the Rams
