In David Gabriel George's? I don't watch much high school but I tuned into this game last night since it was on ESPN 2. Fun game to watch by the way. This guy is going to be a problem for the SEC. His burst, balance, power combo is on par with some of the best NFL running backs already. Here is some of his highlights from last night you should watch in this article.

One of 5 or 6 10k rushers in US high school history, who went on to win a Heisman and be the best RB in the NFL for stretches.

Not sure how this is even debatable

Derrick Henry looking like a coke machine running around everyone and Noel Divine breaking ankles for fun are my personal favorites.

He'll be better than big time recruits like Bryce Brown, Joe McKnight, Marcus Houston, Gerald Riggs.

He won't be as good as Derrick Henry, Adrian Peterson, Jamal Lewis, Reggie Bush, Bo Jackson and Hershel Walker.

I'd slot him in with guys like Leornard Fournette, Cadillac Williams, Marcus Lattimore

Yeah if we are talking pure highlights, Noel Devine and King Henry probably win that.

The one position that they should allow to go pro after one college season is Running Back. They would have to meet certain benchmarks but most running backs only have a certain number of runs in them and they are highly susceptible to injury.

If this kid is as good as advertised, Tennessee is going to really abuse him and after 3 years of WAY to many touches he's going to be mostly used up. Such is the life of a star freshman running back.

Did you see Adrian Peterson, Derrick Henry, or Leonard Fournette's high school highlights...or Joe McKnight (RIP)?

Ohio State was on that kid hardcore. They brought their entire coaching staff to visit him.

Massive pull for Vols.

I went to some kind of awards dinner in Birmingham after Bo's senior year in HS and he was already a superstar. It was like being in the room with an NFL Hall of Famer even before he got to Auburn. It's hard to overstate the excitement around him coming out of high school.

Bo rushed for under 1,200 yards his sr year. Derrick went for over 4,200. Dude did more than Bo's entire h.s. career in a single season

And also offered his zero star friend and teammate in hopes of swaying him.

Definitely has a lot of potential. I think if he keeps working hard and maintains a positive attitude, one day he might just be the next Jabari Davis.
