Wow, a couple of fast running backs lately. Looks as if he could help at several spots. As our British friends would say, “Good how, recruiters!”
Take that Shane!
Welcome Thomas. It’s a Homie Nation

Welcome Thomas love ya man!!!
Looks like a guy we could have used against WVU last year!!!
This kid can fly. Love that Pry is putting emphasis non speed again. We had gotten slower over the year.Hope he’ll get a look at receiver . I believe he could help us there.
