Four-year starter. Began his career with a bang, setting a program record for touchdowns by a freshman and maintained a steady presence in the backfield with teammate Kaytron Allen for three more seasons. Set a career record at Penn State for rushing touchdowns and missed just one game to injury. The gifted athlete with an NFL frame and versatile skill set did have a stronger start than ending to his career, but there are several components to the position that teams will be attracted to. His rare blend of size and speed, in addition to the production and explosiveness spread over a historic-four year career, should land him in a number two or three spot on a depth chart with a bias toward the passing game role. Dense frame with an unusual blend of speed and explosion. Created 72 explosive plays (15+ yards gained) split between rushing and receiving. Top five in Power Four in catches by a back over the past two seasons. Finds green and amps it up in a blink. Beats defenders to a spot and can finish. Shows urgency and rapid twitch below the waist. Plays with high effort in all areas. Skill translates well to the return game. Will run high through traffic. Does not have a good feel between the tackles. Slow to recognize creases and can tend to stiffen up when he changes direction. Not a fluid mover in traffic. Lacks momentum on contact and struggles to create after contact.
