Not being the most football savvy guy out there, what is a "slashing runner"? He seems like a pretty good running back prospect, although I'm sure there are plenty of other candidates we're looking at just as closely.
highlights YouTube - Silas Redd He looks good on film, but I don't see him as a "great" player for the team. He doesn't seem to have the top end speed, and seems to get caught from behind quite a bit. I would DEFINITELY rather see the staff land Corey Brown or Eric Howard in this class. Another knock on this kid is that he's not being offered by any other real powerhouse teams... That definitely says something.
This prospect is on tOSU's board..........good enough for me........could be one to watch.......there is interest.
