Looks like a scat back: HUDL Video

Looks a lot like a young man named Tracey Lampley!

He's small, quick but not very fast. I don't think he's a lampley but I could be wrong. As a running back, to me he's a borderline D-1 player and not a real playmaker. If they make him a slot receiver, this could all change though. But from watching him I have no idea idea about his ball skills. But he's a good enough athlete that I could see him being good in the slot. Looks like we are his only offer.

I think Hopson has really bought into the whole "tough Mississippi kid" persona. Or just southern persona in general. All I can say is he better be great with his evaluations. Because we are taking chances on some kids that other people aren't willing to.

He has a few more offers from other CUSA and SunBelt teams.

Ok, the site I looked at didn't show any other offers. But I see where rivals shows a few more. Still doesn't change my Eval of him. He could be useful, but not a game changer I don't think. There's nothing wrong with that and not knocking him, just giving an honest opinion.

OK....he ain't a Lampley. Maybe a Fletcher?

Thought he is projected as a cornerback.

CL says he's the "steal commitment of the summer".

Good to read. Sounds like a better commit than I thought.

Tonight against South Panola: 5 catches, 117 yards, and a touchdown. Clinton won 38-26.

Sidenote: SP has now lost back-to-back games for the first time since 2001.

Is high school football season eventually going to start in July?

Seems like it. Doesn't school start in July anyways?

FNUTL guys said he had 4 or 5 touchdowns against Ridgeland tonight.
