Just took a look at his 2014 clips on HUDL. Despite what EC said below, the kid actually runs pretty well without the benefit of a good Offensive Line. So with Chandler and JJ departing, he could compete for the third/fourth starting spot in the backfield. Wesley Chapel seems to run mostly out of the "I", So he is going to have to learn an entirely new system. But if he is coach-able, he will learn.Originally posted by 307mac:

Take a look and judge.Originally posted by peezy28:
Well Wesley Chapel has been horrible the last few years so perhaps his 85 carries for 244 yards (2.3/yc) is more of an indictment of his team and not him but that stat line is ugly. I have seen kids on bad teams do much more than that. Who knows maybe Sexy Beast can get mold him into the Hoka Hey Way. I just think any kid you get from in or around Apopka is going to be better than a kid from Wesley Chapel.
Not sure how the rules work but I believe if he transfers now he cannot participate in the spring (maybe he can practice but I am not sure).Originally posted by DarterBlue2:
Did not say he would star at Apopka. Said, he would have a chance to compete for a spot. If you look at the video closely, he was not a beneficiary of very good blocking on most of his plays and he did seem to have good instincts.
Not every successful runner at Apopka has been of the 4.4 variety. Some like Tom Smith or for that matter Chandler Cox, have been of the slower, more punishing variety. As of now, with what I know we have coming back, I think he has a 50/50 shot of working his way into a starting spot on the team if he is a spring enrollee.
Never said he was special. Did say he could compete for a spot. Think he has a 50/50 chance if he does come to Apopka.Originally posted by CABINET:

Regardless, I think Apopka should start the season with the benefit of the doubt and a top 5/10 area ranking until proven otherwise.
