What are his strengths on the field?

Did he set any records last year?

“Actually he broke my single game rushing record. It was against Cumberland Valley. The funny thing is I told him at halftime he needed to step up. He didn’t know he had over 200 yards at half time. He finished with 360 yards rushing and broke my old record of 344 yards.”
