Apparently it's news to him.

Idk any backstory, but I hope it's true.

Probably not. He might get a few carries like Russell Shepard, but he'll mostly be our kick returner, and a defensive back or receiver.

He needs to play slot and catch a couple out the backfield. Can not wait to see him on the field!

I don't see where else to put him. Maybe WR. I don't think he has the hips to play CB.

good, he's too fast to be playing on defense. we have tons of DBs with great speed and cover ability.

He needs to be running with a football toward an endzone.

This! Put the ball in his hands and let him run to the end zone. Not many people will be able to catch him once he's able to get to the edge.

My worry with putting him on offense is the number of touches he will get. He'll have to pretty dynamic with the ball in his hands to take carris away from Hill, Blue and Hilliard. 3-4 carries a game is all I can see him getting as a freshman

His strength is surprising. He's no bruiser, but his senior year he broke a lot of tackles. He's bigger then trindon and has a much thicker frame then Shep had.

no, TH used to run between the tackles on occasion. Didnt happen often but they would run him there sometimes. Not saying I think he gets 15 carries a game, but I dont think he'll only be a gimmick RB.

he's way bigger than TH. 5'10 maybe around 190. He's got the size to get the touches if he doesn't fumble and runs with a purpose.

I'm hoping his touches are similar to how mike ford was used with a few more runs bewtween the tackles.

he's gonna have to put in work to take touches from them as a freshman. when he gets the chance, he needs to make things happen and his touches might increase... or they could vanish.

Cam can really make a mark on our offense with how he uses Brazil.
