re: I don't think it's a big deal if we don't get Citizen. Check out this kid's film.

I saw Zeke play in high school and this is immediately who I thought of. With just a little less speed. Mark Ingram also comes to mind.

Great first step,and vision. He looks better than anything on our roster. Hope he wants to be a Tiger.

Looks like he’s playing against a bunch of 8th graders. What classification does he play in?

The list of big schools that are interested doesn't include any from Texas. The in-state recruiters who have had a closer look for the last three years know that private-school competition for what it is. It's not like Louisiana, folks. Pursuing this RB instead of Citizen would be the height of foolishness.

1,099 yards and 16 TDs in three games in this years playoffs. As a Division 1 school, I'd question the opposing talent just a bit.

However, his 5' 11" 220lb frame is a solid, and his usage jumped 160% in his senior season, so he can obviously shoulder the load. Speed wise, He's comparable to Citizen.

While his spotlight isn't as bright as Citizens at the moment, it feels that he'll be a breakout 3-star at the college level, ala CHE.

He would be a great get. This is a situation where we realize stars aren't always a good indicator of a player. He's ranked outside the top 1200, but he has offers from Clemson, Auburn, Michigan, and Michigan State. With offers like that, I'd say he's gotta be much much better than the recruiting sites think

I got to watch Citizen play this year and he didn't stand out but one of the WRs on the team did stand out(forget #). Citizen does have great speed and was fast in open field but didn't seem to be able to break many tackles. Looked like he would also need to put on weight to play in the SEC. Citizen was definitely a different type back than the one, Branson Robinson-Georgia signee, they were playing against.

I do love the way he runs over his pads.

He has a very natural fluid way of running the ball.

I don't think we have offered him yet, but a lot of the big schools have just started recruiting him, so if we offer, we wouldn't be far behind in the race.

Halfway through that reel and I'm sold that is a starting RB right there. Sign him up!

This is little bitty private school competition, so there's that. He's not doing this against DeSoto or Dallas Carter or Southlake Carroll.


They only lost by 2 to Austin LBJ, a public school that went 15-1 and only lost to Stephenville in the finals

Well now that I see his film, he reminds me alot of Jamyr Gibbs. Both got speed and very patient backs, they wait for their blockers and bust thru a small hole. I would go ahead and offer this kid a scholly and see which one bites first to commit ( citizen or Andrew paul) citizen reminds me of Zach Evans I think was his name. That running back that had interests in lsu then ATM then florida then signed with Georgia then went to portal and signed with TCU like 2 months before fall football starts. Do you want a supposed bad arse at rb just cause he a 5 star and he wants alot of attention or do ya want this guy here that would probably commit and his film looks good. I would not waste time and go ahead and make an offer today put pressure on citizen if he really is legit and serious about his college career

He ran for 177 yards & you weren’t impressed?

Dude’s tape looks a lot better than Citizen’s. I want both but I’ve always like Citizen for LB not RB.
