New Big Back? 4.4 w/ 375 wow!

[Spartan Pride]

Interesting that the release MSUspartans.com has lists him as a RB.

[lakedanf]

It's going to be interesting to see which side of the ball he ends up playing. Keep in mind that Dantonio is very creative in finding ways to get the best 11 athletes onto the field

I heard we might he looking for yet another LB...maybe Juco still this year with our open schollies.

If so, that could leave Glenn to compete for RB.

Seems to be more intriging as a running back right now...I see him in a Jehu roll.

And he's 215 last time I checked. 230 with that speed and we've got our MLB for the next 4 years.

NOTE:

He was recruited and will be focusing on RB. NOT LB. He might get some looks there, but he will focus on RB, which is also his preference.

I wouldn't be surprised if he saw some early time at RB, but he's going to get on the field faster as a LB.

Saw some of the press conf. on bigtennetwork.com and Dantonio talked about him as a RB. He said the sky is the limit for our running backs.

another step towards returning to the smash mouth run game that should be MSU football's MO.
