That guy is built like a train for a freshman and has speed with the frame. He could be a big difference maker at LSU as some time passes.
Our freshman are really developed honestly. The ones that played look like studs

Buga Jr. Will dominate for years
Really need to pump the brakes in this… outside of his highlight run, he had 4 carries for 8 yards against Moo St. I’m not saying he’s not good but it’s dumb to make career comments based off of one play.

Hopefully he chooses his battles wisely and avoids contact when he needs, otherwise he'll be just as hurt as BUGA.
Modern running backs are better off with quickness and avoiding contact.

We aren’t basing it off one play. There is also the fact that he is moving up the depth chart without yet knowing all of the plays. He is a freshman, with seven other backs - six of them experienced - and he is not redshirting. This guy will be great!

Not to mention the pass play two plays before that got called back where he accelerated so fast it looked like the game was on fast forward. People don’t understand that he was a state champion sprinter at his size.
The comp is saquon kinda like the announcer said. He’s got legs like saquon had and he’s big quick and fast with great lateral speed

He didn't make great cuts, especially after gaining some additional weight and made fewer and fewer defensive players miss. Now he could truck some people but very seldom ran around, or juked anyone. Probably why he is not in the NFL today.
As soon as I saw that hit I told my buddies he was the next LF7.

It’s crazy he’s already built like a NFL RB. Still getting better at learning the little things like pass protection but when he figures it out and becomes the guy, could be our best RB since Clyde maybe even guice…I think the biggest differentiator between RBs is the ability to break tackles and Kaleb has that at the highest level.
Jackson reminds me of Fournette. He's speed and power, and has hands out the backfield.
Both of them need at least a combined 25 carries a game. Diggs at 15 carries will move the chains and Jackson is a threat to pop a big run at any moment.

Has to bring it every game to compare to LF7
He brought it every game except Bama lol
That Bama game had zero to do with LF7. Watch that game again and tell us where he was supposed to get any yards. No QB.. No passing game. No offensive imagination. Average OL. When you’re one dimensional vs a Saban defense and he has 5 star talent all over the field on that side that’s what happens. It doesn’t matter how talented you are. It absolutely amazes me how football illiterate some people are.

A’Shawn Robinson and Jarran Reed were in the backfield almost every play. Then Saban had a safety flying down in run support running the alley because he knew Harris couldn’t throw it.
Then Henry ran it down our throats on the other side and snatched the heisman away.
