Reported as an explosive back who can take it to the house everytime he touches the ball.

Has a strong lower body and low center of gravity, and very elusive.

He is at the BYU football scrimmage this morning. Hopefully, comes away impressed with how BYU uses the RBs in Anae's GFGH offense.

He committed today.

His video doesn't look like he's. a 4.0-40 guy. But man is he elusive! Talk about field vision and open field running

He certainly can change direction rather abruptly. Will be interesting to see how Anae plans to use him. Another James Dye?

He's going to do his best to recruit other non-LDS Christian athletes - sees BYU as a good fit for his principles - more than just football.

Here is his quote:



"There are tons of strong Christian players in Texas, and I know they'd love BYU, just like I do," he said. "I just don't think all of them know about BYU, but I think that's changing. I'm going to do my best, while there, to promote BYU as best I can and let people know what a great place it is for everyone not just Mormons."

Depends on which mold you are referring to. JQ was a great teammate and well respected by the players. However, he didn't necessarily live up to the hype in HS and appeared to be relegated to second team in his second season which caused the transfer (IMO). Not sure how things have transpired at Fresno State. I would hope CD would be an impact player and one who does succeed on and off the field.

Could he fit the Josh Quezada mold?

Supposed to be much faster. Plays corner too.
