What makes you stand out as a future collegiate athlete?
I wasn’t always a player who got a lot of playing time, but I love football. In four years I never missed a workout or a practice. This year I was moved to RB (first time) after playing WR/TE for 3 years. My goal was to do everything to improve as a player and help my team win games. I’m hardworking, loyal and dedicated to my teammates.
Bumper has a north-south running style with quick-enough feet in between the tackles to allow him to set up his blocks. He is a physical runner and uses his solidly built 5’11” 205-pound frame to fight for extra yardage. The senior plays with a ton of effort and we really like how he keeps his feet moving after contact. Time and again we saw the SR get 3-5 yards more yards and that is completely due to his high effort level. We would like to see him implement a jump cut into his running style as it should open up even more holes for him and just improving his explosiveness hitting the hole as well. It looks like Bumper could add even more weight to his frame, getting up to around 220 pounds and become a bruising running back at the next level.
