Yep. He was the co-MVP of the Miss- Ala high school all star game last year.

Speed kills.
He’s got Speed plus moves

His game seems similar to Darrell Henderson. Super fast and good vision; both are great RB qualities (of course).

I would say he is much closer to Pollard and will likely be used in a very similar fashion.

Ok. I’ll concede to that comparison since Kenny and Tony play the same position. All three have similar traits. All have the ability to make big plays and take it to the house. It’s nice to have so many guys with that kind of playmaking ability.

Norvell is supposed to give an update after practice.

DT
I asked the same question before camp began. He, OL Brannon, and DE Love were the 3 we were waiting on to qualify. The other 2 were recently added to the roster. Sounds like an eligibility issue. We were counting on him to bring some serious pressure off the outside edge.

Kid is a beast!!! I wonder if he was a late qualifier similar to DB Gonzales last year. Thank you Auburn for 2 awesome recruits!! I wonder if our old DB Coach Woodson steered them here. If so, a compendable job to take care of young men vs stuffing talent at Juco

While I noticed Gonzales is on the roster I was disappointed he did not make the two deep. He played a lot last year.

He was pressed into action due to injuries. I actually hope we can RS him this year. Our #’s are up and he would most assuredly start /2deep next year. However, I doubt we do this. Very hard to RS later in career unless injured.

he made the alabama defense look slow

could out run them all to the corner

Looking at this 2 deep, Memphis should win a whole bunch of games this season & next. That doesn't even take into account guys who will RS this season.

How many schools can say they have two players from Nigeria who are not related?

Why would they be related? I'm sure Nigeria has a large population of people.

Many times when you have two players from same foreign country on a team, they are from same family. Or have some other ties such as Samoans who attend school in large numbers in Utah.

I see what you are saying. I was doing some research and found that Tonga has the 2nd most number of NFL players (59 Past) behind Canada (2 Current, 61 Past). Interesting. Nigeria has 1 current and 50 past players in the NFL.

That's not a bad thing that our talent ahead of him is good enough to fight off his charge. Very similar to Eze not being able to crack the starting lineup, even though he is one of our highest rated recruits ever.

Good problem to have. I do see him playing quite a bit and being a contributor.

And that wasn't a correction, more observation. Isn't it amazing to have that much talent on this team. In previous years, you saw one of these come along every couple of years. To have these three and the two Taylors.... just amazing.
