TheBlueVue 177 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 There's probably a grain of truth to all of those points about talking up walk-ons during spring and giving them props to motivate guys the program is depending on but for some reason I dont think Gus is real big on those kind of games. Im not saying this kid is going to be a star but, I do believe Gus likes what the guy has shown in spring camp so far. We'll see what happens and while I would be somewhat surprised to see the guy get much PT next year, him evenually getting PT wouldn't surprise me at all if he sticks around and continues to show the coaches he can be trusted to get the job done.

VAtiger12 112 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Also good to remember that while this year, AU did not have much turnover and had a few EEs but generally spring is when the roster is 'smallest' to some degree because most of the new class has not come in yet, and last year's seniors are not practicing so if there is a time for a walk on to get serious looks, this is it. Once the new class arrives, they'll probably get shuffled back a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednilla 5,401 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Moved this to the football forum, since he is on campus and practicing, thus voiding the thread's reason for being in recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUbritt 611 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 LOVE the play at the 2 min mark in the video where he strips the ball from the receiver and runs it back for a TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIR ISAAC 46 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Impressive vision, quickness and cutting ability. Perfect combo of skills for punt returner. Very excited he's playing for the good guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujeff11 6,243 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 he will fit in Gus's playbook....for one play at least http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXnOMRKKjsI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTiger 13,136 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I hear he's in contention for punt returner. Anyone have any more info on how he's doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift 350 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I hear he's in contention for punt returner. Anyone have any more info on how he's doing? The way he broke some folks ankles in that highlight video, I sure would like to see him field some punts to see what he can do. His ability to stop in mid stride and change directions is pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,819 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Might be the best punt returner on roster if that means anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeriderga 134 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Smaller guy, but fast and great moves. Kind of like another AU player, aka Lionel James perhaps? Welcome to the family Mr. King! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auctoritas 2,828 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 he will fit in Gus's playbook....for one play at least http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXnOMRKKjsI I think we tried to run that once with Omac. I KNOW it got run against us by Gus when he was at Arky...it was that terrible, terrible game where we went in there ranked really highly and got our rear ends handed to us.

Auctoritas 2,828 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 And after watching the highlight vid, I cannot believe this kid didn't get a scholarship somewhere. Holy crap, he's got speed and moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I see another "Lizard" in the making. For those who do not know what I am talking about, this person played at Auburn back in the mid to late 90s. I remember seeing him when we played MSU in Starkville. I think he was about 5-6 and 150 lbs. He was extremely fast, and could make defenders tackle air instead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy crap, he's got speed and moves. I think he had offers from Furman and AF. He's pretty undersized, but I'm glad he took a preferred walk on status. He was the offensive MVP on the scout team . Lotsa heart and football smarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macauburn 6 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Will Gray be the fastest on the team this year@ 4.4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU80cruiser 1,102 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Will Gray be the fastest on the team this year@ 4.4? No. Sammy, Corey Grant, Jonathan Jones, Rudy Ford, Stanton Truitt are ones that stand out with 4.4 or better speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDUBB4AU 5,138 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 That is crazy how many guys we have at a 4.4 or lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeriderga 134 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Will Gray be the fastest on the team this year@ 4.4? 4.4 while very fast, is not elite speed any longer. Auburn has the following sub 4.3 speed guys (unofficial) on the current roster (Corey Grant, Sammie Coates, and Ricardo Louis). in addition other notable speedsters (from the past) 1. Bo Jackson (fastest clocked speed at the NFL combine): 4.12 2. Ontario McCalleb: 4.29 (unofficial at AU Pro Day). 3. Brent Fullwood: 4.28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
