Welcome pup!

I've been wanting this guy for a PWO for some time now. I think there is some good upside potential here. Not going to be a breakaway back as the top gear isn't that high from what I noticed, but is shifty in the hole and likes contact. I think he has good potential as a short yardage back. He's defensive highlights aren't bad too. Could be a + level player on special teams as he as a nose for tackling.

Congrats to the young man.

Not as big as I’d like, but he seems like a football player. Good instincts.

If he adds 20 pounds of muscle could his shifty running make him the next Emmitt Smith?

I think there are tons of programs in place for kids from Hartford where if they can get accepted to UConn they basically go for free. Maybe Edsall is hoarding a scollie with this one

Quite frankly, I see him at LB, assuming he hits the weight room.
I love Randy giving CT inner city guys an opportunity.

I think LB is possible too. Get this kid in practice and see how it goes. He can tackle.
