-------
Zac Sandvig
RB | (5'10" 165)
Hometown: West Des Moines, IA
School: Valley High School
Region: MidWestStatus: Verbal
School: Iowa State
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
Scouts Grade: 6.7
Position Rank: RB #52
Considered: 1-Iowa State
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
Evaluation: Sandvig is a fun player to watch. His biggest obstacle is his size and that will prevent him from being an every down back. However, he is a guy that you want to find a way to get the ball in his hands because he can be explosive. He looks more quick then fast, but he hits top speed very quickly. He has quick feet and great change of direction skills. He can make a cut without having to lose stride. He displays very good vision when running with ball, and when he sees a seam waste little movement and time hitting it. Despite his lack of bulk he runs with surprising power and determination. He drives his legs and can be difficult to arm tackle. Many smaller backs tend to try and juke opponents, but Sandvig is a north-south guy that will make the moves only necessary to avoid defenders. He will try and bounce most plays to the corner but is not afraid to take it up between the tackles. While you love what Sandvig can do with the ball in his hands and he shows toughness, you always worry about a player his size and if he can take the punishment he will receive at the division I level. He is a guy you need to design ways to get the ball in his hands, either through the air or on hand offs. He is an exciting little player that if he can hold up can really spark an offense.
Notes: Had 1605 yds rushing as a junior
