Re: New Football Commit!!!

Looks like a real bruiser. Really thick with some power at the point of contact.

It sounds like he really fell in love with Iowa State, which is great to hear.

Welcome, Beau!

He's a legit 5'8" and 205-210 lbs RB that runs a legit sub 4.5 40. Good stuff indeed.

I really like the shorter thick guys. They're hard for the defense to see and have a tendency to kick out the taller defensive players at point of impact.

I think "Bowling Ball" is a good name for a guy of his stature. Best. Nickname. Evah!

Don't want to get this thread off topic too far but what happened to Josh Johnson. He was a good ball carrier out of Oklahoma

Chzik gave him the boot not to long after he got here. He was one of the players that found a purse on Cy-Ride, took the money out of it, and left it.

Re: New Football Commit!!!

He sounds like a good commit. Can't wait to see what he can do next year.

I believe Mr Bo Williams might have something to say about that. From what he told USA Today, he thinks he could run the ball 25-30 times a game here....

Awesome, there was some talk about him recently and I was hoping they would secure a commitment.

Competition will only bring the best out in both of them.
