1st round 2017...championship!

Seriously though, he has some pretty good wheels. He could probably lose 30-40 lbs of fat and add some muscle and be a beast of a goalline back. We'll see of course. But wow.

I wasn't really that impressed. He slows down pretty fast and the overall high school competition in HI. isn't anything to write home about.

I see a lot of massive polynesian rugby players down here and someone like former New Zealand Rugby winger Jonah Lomu [275lbs (125kgs)?] I reckon would have made a dynamite running back.

Nah that first one was him going to the corner and having the TD, plus it was 60+ yards down the field. The second one looked like he might have been accelerating as he headed towards the goal line and the 3rd one he was still going pretty fast as guys were bringing him down.

True the competition isn't very good, but they weren't very small either.

Got to see Terrell Suggs play HS ball at Hamilton HS. He was a RB there and was bigger than his O-Linemen. He was a man amoung boys and used to drag 5 defenders as he ran the ball.

Fun to watch. Great speed through d-line and very good balance. He would be someone to look at when he hits 285. Very impressive even in HI. FB ?

My sophomore year in HS while on the JV team we played against PV the year they opened and they only had a JV and freshman team. Their RB was a sophomore had to be a lot older and help back. He was at least 250 lbs. I played LB at 160 lbs. I had 4 solo tackles on him, three for a loss. When he saw them warming up, our coach said to go for the ankle and he will fall like a tank and he did. He was fast, but did not have the best agility, so it was easy to take him down buy going low. So, my only concern would be to have the guy fall on him and crush him.


*This HS is now called Gold Canyon. They closed the old PVHS for a few years and then reopened it. It was strange that they they did not have the names straightened out prior to opening them.

Pulls his ankles together and there isn't anything scary about him. His footwork sucks and if he doesn't lose a large percentage of that weight he will spend a lot of time in rehab.

It's one thing when he's going against HS students. College students will beat him down.

Shoot on one play when he got tackled he had trouble getting up.

The kid is a lot of fat and very little muscle....sorry but true.

He's not that fast - kids were scared of him...in college that won't happen.

I'll bet he has under 400 total yards in his entire college career. Eventually he'll be moved to O line.

He was probably tired like those 350 lbs linemen in NFL who have to sprint down the field.

He gets up faster than I do. If I fall down it takes me a minute or two to get up, sometimes with the help of my service dog.

You played against Beanie Wells in High School? Awesome.
