    Looks very impressive TB.

    He's quick and fast. Small legs though, got pulled down from behind by the shirt tackle , maybe a CB in college?

    He doesn't have the tree trunk legs of a Michael Hart or a Ray Rice, small backs who are very good running backs. That's why I see him as a CB.

    Good luck, nice looking recruit !

    Those HS highlight films are always impressive. I watched one the other day for a kid on the west coast name Jahvid Best, it was even better than that one.

    Congrats on the get though, King is one of the most highly sought RB's in the South. Is he already qualified? I can't remember for sure but there are a couple of top RB's who aren't qualified. I know Noel Devine is one of them.

    Tailback,

    He reminds me of Chris Wells, our freshman tb, who burst thru the line for 52 yds and a TD Saturday!

    Minus 40 or so lbs and a couple of inches.

    He's not qualified yet. AJ I watched the video and didn't see him pulled down from behind. I did see him tackled from the side when someone had his shirt laying on the ground behind him. Either way it doesn't matter much. He is small at 186 pounds. I guess he's the size of Auburns two backs and has the moves of Caddy. I read where he reminded someone of Blair Thomas?

    TB, About 50 seconds into the video he got spun around by a shirt tackle.

    That's no big deal, but on the college level the guys are bigger and stronger.

    Guys his size who are running backs have the stocky legs like Warrick Dunn, Mike Hart and Ray Rice, so if he's going to be a running back, he'll have to build up his legs a little and get more lower body strength.

    He's a fantastic athlete, you can see it with his quick moves and that great leap at the goal line. He'll either build himself into a TB through weight training or he will be a CB or even a WR. In any case, GA got a great athlete.

    Okay AJ I seen it that time. I think you're right. A RS freshman year in the weight room is needed by him.
