What makes you stand out as a future collegiate athlete?

Hard working kid in the classroom and on the field

With Champ Kyles now graduated a lot of the offensive burden will be squarely on the shoulders of the senior Jamaal Wesley in 2021. The 6′ 195 lbs. back has looked good in various situation this offseason posting legit 40 times, and when he does stride out the 2022 back looks impressive in the open field easily gliding by the defense. He is not a quick accelerator though. Wesley also runs a little too upright, and has a high center of gravity that slows him down on cuts. Lack of flexibility seems to be the problem. Wesley also plays some LB where he is a rock solid tackler. His lack of lateral quickness is not so much a problem on this side of the ball, and Wesley can just get downhill and take straight pursuits to the ball carrier. He does finish off his runs with authority and has a solid stiff arm that allows for extra yardage to the outside, even sometimes slipping by defenders for more yards than you would expect. I do like the security he runs with the football typically keeping the ball on the outside of the pursuit and even getting it high and tight in traffic. Wesley is an explosive athlete with a more wiry frame. I’m interested to see how he plays senior year, because the overall athleticism is eye-catching even if RB he doesn’t show the most natural instincts. In the right offense he could breakoff some seriously explosive plays. Wesley is a D1 caliber athlete at the end of the day, so definitely a recruit to watch closely this fall and see if he has filled out his frame, become more flexible in the hips and just continued to improve with his running vision. All those improvement aside, there is still good upside playing Wesley at nickle at the next level.
