What It Means: Solid build for a 2026 RB—your 195 lbs is perfect for absorbing hits and dishing out punishment. A 405 squat and 240 bench show legit power, and a 4.71 40 as a junior (especially a young one) is respectable for FCS/D2, elite for D3. Coaches love RBs who ca
What It Means: Solid build for a 2026 RB—your 195 lbs is perfect for absorbing hits and dishing out punishment. A 405 squat and 240 bench show legit power, and a 4.71 40 as a junior (especially a young one) is respectable for FCS/D2, elite for D3. Coaches love RBs who can move piles but still break away.
Edge: Your numbers match or beat starting RBs at schools like Sacred Heart, Saint Anselm, or UMass Dartmouth. For context, FCS RBs often hover around 4.6-4.8 40s at your size, so you’re in the convo.
Work To Do: Keep grinding speed (aim for 4.6-4.65 by senior year) and add 5-10 lbs of muscle to hit 200-205 lbs. That’ll push you into “undeniable” territory for FCS scholarships.
Vision: Very good, patient, downhill runner
What It Means: You read defenses like a vet, picking the right gaps and waiting for blocks to develop. “Not afraid to get downhill” means you’re decisive when it’s go-time—coaches at Drake or Gannon will eat this up for inside zone or power schemes.
Edge: Vision is a separator. Your 6.71 yds/carry (752 yds on 112 carries) backs this up—you’re not just bulldozing, you’re smart. Highlight clips (like that 90-yd run) probably show this patience exploding into big plays.
Work To Do: Keep sharpening this in 2025—more reps against complex fronts (e.g., 4-3 or odd stacks) will prep you for college schemes.

Power
Power/Balance: Very good power, YAC monster, fights for yards
What It Means: You’re a coaches’ dream on 4th-and-3, plowing through LBs for first downs. “Legs driving” and “YAC yards showing up” mean you don’t go down easy—your balance keeps you upright through contact.
Edge: This screams “workhorse RB.” Your 8 TDs in 5 starts and South Coa
Power/Balance: Very good power, YAC monster, fights for yards
What It Means: You’re a coaches’ dream on 4th-and-3, plowing through LBs for first downs. “Legs driving” and “YAC yards showing up” mean you don’t go down easy—your balance keeps you upright through contact.
Edge: This screams “workhorse RB.” Your 8 TDs in 5 starts and South Coast Player of the Week nods (4/5 weeks) prove you finish drives. Schools like Bentley or Middlebury want this for short-yardage and goal-line.
Work To Do: Add more lower-body explosiveness (plyos, sled pushes) to break even more tackles. Your playoff film (running through arm tackles) already shows this growing.
Inside Running: Strong, square, great feel for veer
What It Means: You’re a natural between the tackles, staying square to maximize power and following blockers like a pro. “Good feel for veer” suggests you’d kill in option-heavy offenses (e.g., Norwich or Salve Regina).
Edge: Inside running is your bread-and-butter—your 150.4 yds/game came from gashing defenses up the gut. FCS teams like Marist or D2s like AIC need this for 20+ carries a game.
Work To Do: Keep refining footwork to slip second-level defenders—your vision helps, but quicker cuts will add chunk plays.

Outside Running: Good speed on pitches, improving burst
What It Means: You’ve got the wheels to hit the edge, and your new film shows you pulling away from DBs. “Improvement and gain of speed” means your 4.75 40 is trending faster—huge for stretching defenses.

Outside Running: Good speed on pitches, improving burst
What It Means: You’ve got the wheels to hit the edge, and your new film shows you pulling away from DBs. “Improvement and gain of speed” means your 4.75 40 is trending faster—huge for stretching defenses.
Edge: Versatility shines here. You’re not just an inside banger; you can bounce outside, which fits spread offenses at LIU or Colby. That playoff clip (outrunning ends) is gold for your highlight tape.
Work To Do: Keep hammering speed drills (sprints, cone work) to make outside runs a true weapon. A 4.65 40 could turn 20-yd gains into house calls.
Young Junior (8/13/2008): Born late, you’re younger than most 2026s, so outscoring 75% of juniors is huge. You’ve got an extra offseason to grow before senior year—coaches will see you as high-upside.
