that's the one sr. He's either 5'-10 or 5'-11" (depending on the site) and under 200 lbs. I would call him an "under the radar" recruit, Rivals only has him at 2 Stars and no P-5 Programs offered, but he put up big numbers and worth keeping an eye on.
Walter Payton’s size. Here’s wishing!

boy you aren't kidding :lol:

we need a speed back to make defenses honor the edges, just thinking of our QB pitching the ball to a guy that can run a 40 in 4.4 makes me smile.

have you looked at that RB we signed from Florida?* A speed guy who put up gaudy numbers but on the small side (if I remember correctly).


*Ygenio Booker

Named the 6th fastest player in the entire 2018 class by 247. 6th fastest signee in the country but not worthy of a better overall ranking because of his height.

I know he is very fast, but I thought he was being brought in as an athlete. Nice to know he is a RB with super speed.

He is listed on 247 as an athlete at 5-11, 200lbs. He is from Brooksville, FL and played at Hernando. Does anyone know if the competition in that area is considered good (maybe FW)?

It's funny that would be considered small. I was under the impression that 5/11 and 200 was about the ideal size for a RB.

Keep in mind these are NFL playing weights
LeSean McCoy - 5-11, 210
Kareem Hunt - 5-10, 216
Jordan Howard - 6-0, 220
Lamar Miller - 5-10, 225
Alvin Kamara - 5-10, 215
Orleans Darkwa - 5-11, 219
Dontrell Hilliard - 6-0, 205
Terrell Davis - 5-11, 210
Walter Payton - 5-10, 200
Ladanian Tomlinson - 5-10, 215
Curtis Martin - 5-11, 210
Tony Dorsett - 5-11, 190

I’m saying RB because that’s where I would love to see him. But he played a bunch of different positions in high school, RB, WR, etc. I have no idea what Athelete converts to or if our coaches see him that way.

247 can call him an athlete, but our coaches call him a running back. I'd peg Booker's height at no less than 5-9 & his weight at no less than 185. He's not tiny. His "problem" as a prospect is why didn't his coaches give him more touches?

Oh, like the Tennessee staff with Kamara?
