Finished his high school career as the sixth all-time rusher in Texas 5A history (5,717 yards). Also earned a pair of track-and-field letters as a prep. Redshirted in 2007. Played seven games in ’08, drawing two starts, and rushed 64 times for 284 yards (4.4-yard average) and zero touchdowns with 10 receptions for 51 yards (5.1) and zero touchdowns. Missed six games because of a knee injury. Sat out the first three games in ’09 (knee) before carrying 53-212-4 (4.0) and catching 13-51-0 (3.9) in 11 games (three starts). Started 7-of-11 games in which he played in ’10 and rushed 80-351-2 (4.4) with 5-59-0 (11.8). Also completed two passes for 40 yards. Did not play against Florida Atlantic (stinger). Started 6-of-9 games in which he played in ’11, managing 66-386-6 (5.8) rushing and 16-145-1 (9.1) receiving before tearing the ACL and MCL in his right knee against Missouri. Was medically excluded from the Combine because of the injury. Two-time team captain. Has graduated. Fumbled three times in 336 career touches, gaining 4.7 yards per carry.

Has dependable hands and is an accomplished receiver who catches easily outside his frame. Good short-area burst and finishing speed. Fast in a straight line. Outstanding intangibles — smart, well-spoken, hardworking leader. 

Average eyes and instincts. Not strong or powerful to run inside. Goes down easy on contact. Durability has been a major concern — has missed parts of three seasons with knee injuries and cannot stay healthy. Marginal, underpowered blocker with limited strength.

Straight-linish, finesse, speed-dependent, change-of-pace back with leadership traits highly desired in a locker room. Could fill a niche receiving role.
