With the recent smoke about LSU trying to flip Auburn commit, RB Armoni Goodwin, I thought I'd post his highlights for others to see. I hadn't seen them before just now and I'm sure others haven't either. Here are the highlights.

My thoughts:
- compact frame + low center of gravity
- extra gear of speed when he wants it
- elusive and slippery (hard to tackle)
- nice hurdle
- good cuts and vision

I hate to compare him to CEH, because it feels lazy, but they are quite similar. I can't tell you how good he is in the pass game because it isn't in the video. Still, I think this would be a huge get for us, and an excellent partner in crime for Kiner.

The thread got deleted, but a poster stated although it wasn't a done deal yet, LSU is making him seriously think.

Thanks for the highlight. I agree Goodwin would be a good compliment to Kiner. Hope we reel him in.

Goodwin has better top end speed than Clyde, while CEH is more laterally quick and elusive.

Goodwin is explosive athletically, more of a one cut and go back.

Clyde is certainly more advanced in the passing game.

I’ll compare Goodwin to Raheem Mostert of the San Francisco 49ers.

Sounds like a CEH clone, no wonder O has him wanting to flip. I would LOVE this.

Yeah I agree that Goodwin is slimmer and faster than CEH. Probably more explosive too, but he'll never have CEH's level of lateral agility or pass game prowess.

Hope he comes back strong from that knee injury.

I think his running style is more like Curry's than CEH. He's more of a one-cut north/south runner. Looks a step faster than either Curry or CEH.

He’ll play at 205-210.

Reminds me of Devonta Freeman

Much better then most here think. We will get 2 top tackles and a very good, but needs coaching interior lineman .

Yeah I forget who but either a Auburn or LSU insider acknowledged the smoke and said it is real I believe.

He is nothing like clyde
Def faster and more straight line

Darrell Henderson really is a good comparison

Disagree about straight line. He pairs multiple cuts together pretty easily. TDP is a one cutter.

Why are people downvoting this? Devonta Freeman would be an incredible outcome for this kid. Not a bad comp, either

I agree he’s not similar to Clyde at all. I compared him to Raheem Mostert.

I think Henderson is a good comparison too, I just wanted to think of someone else on my own rather than use 247s comp.
