Kid can find the endzone!!! Looks good. Very under control with speed
Ahhhhh……hello….this is very surprising….. this young man is from the same high school as 4/5 star Demetrius Davis who decommitted to Auburn. CC or TSL …..you guys must be trying to see who’s paying attention to your articles? This is a big get as obviously Lofton was responsible for Davis 2year 73 TD career. Could Davis still be in play?
It’s not the same high school. DD went to a 6A school near Houston while this young man goes to a 5A school near Fort Worth.
Darn, my apologies. You are totally correct- I see it now: North Shore Highschool vs
North Side Highschool…… Man that’s close
my eyes got the best of me. Thanks.
Wow. That is a great highlight film. I see Eddie Royal. Very excited about this commitment.
I agree. He looks exciting.
Welcome to the Hokie Nation, Da’Wain!
What I like is around the 7:20 mark he catches a TD and flips the ball to the ref. The ref drops it and the kid picks it up and hands it back to him. Did I mention his speed? Welcome home Da’wain!
Yep, I noticed exact same thing. Small thing to notice but I think it speaks volumes about the young man!
Oh, did I mentioned his speed?.. Welcome home D’wain! Go Hokies!
This kid can fly! And catch! Good looking player!!
Just a clarification: it looks like you meant the 1:20 mark, not 7:20.
agree, that was what I noticed too.
Welcome aboard TXtoVT rocks!
He reminds me of Hezekiah Grimsley
I was thinking that he looks like Eddie Royal.
My thoughts exactly!! Watched the ACC championship (06?) game last night. Royal was great!! Has Royal’s speed and moves!!
more Royal than Grimsley. speed near-like Bob Hayes: add Jafar coaching him up = lethal.
If he’s the weight room warrior Royal was he will be special
Royal was bench pressing offensive linemen!!
Nice! Is he related to James?
Or Kenny (baseball player)?
Good hands, good speed, determined runner. Look forward to seeing him making some big plays for the Hokies. Welcome, Da’Wain!
