Describe his strengths?

“He can do a little bit of everything. He has a great skill set. He is a strong kid, pound-for-pound he is one of our strongest kids on our team. He has breakaway speed and runs with a lot of power. He likes to deliver a blow to a defensive player and make them miss. We would like to get him the ball more out of the back field this year. He has good hands We have some things in the works to try and get him the ball different ways this year. Also, he is a good pass blocker.”
