Great looking high school running back!  Look at his stats in the attached article/link I read the beginning of the article, and I enjoyed how the columnist seems perplexed as to why this kid has ZERO DI interest in him. I wanted to send back a one sentence reply: "It's because he's white, and not an afflete". The only thing I didn't like about the kid were his choices of favorite athletes. Yet another glaring example of the caste system in football. And love the last name!

I obviously don't know much about this young man, but it's been my experience so far that you have to do more than play and put up great numbers!
It takes alot of work, especially if you're white! I googled his name and didn't see much out there on him other than his high school stats. A 4.57, 40 is above average for a RB his size, but where did he run this at, who saw it. You know, everyone in my county runs a 4.3 if you ask them, but they really run a 4.7/4.8 maybe.
College coaches aren't going to come to you anymore, they don't have to with the internet, you tube, etc.
As I said it takes work, you have to get your name out their, go to combines, such as NUC, NIKE, Under Armour, etc. get your measureables legitimized! If you do well at these combines, you will get attention!
Go to as many 1-day prospect camps as possible, so the D-1 coaches can see you live. At many of these camps you will see D-1AA coaches also, so you get more bang for your buck going to the D-1 camps.
I was at Wake Forests' 1-day top prospect camp last summer and also attending, were coaches from Richmond, Elon, Coastal Carolina and UNC-Charlotte, who starts their program in D-1 in 2013.
Lastly, you have to start making contact with these coaches early,not when your a senior, as early as 8th grade if possible.
As I said, I don't know much about this young man, but it sounds like someone hasn't reached out to help him. I've seen it many times, there are good football players out there, but no one takes the initiative to get the person out there until it's too late.
