More of a power back than anything. Offers more experience than Peyton Lewis but Duke fans weren't upset about him leaving. Only averaged 3.9 ypc in conference play in the ACC

Duke fans don’t know football

The guy's parents did him no favors by naming the kid "Star". Although he was probably "this close to being called Moonbeam or Moonchild."

I value your input.

This is why I complain. Take every RB I’ve mentioned and throw them out the window.

If he’s a better/more experienced Lewis, then why not just go get a “stud”?

If he’s coming in here and say beats out Lewis, what’s the difference in that and getting someone that’s actually really really good.

Rather have kept Khalifa Keith.

More experienced than Lewis doesn't mean better than Lewis. There is no way this guy is better than Lewis. We don't need a stud. We already have one. You're just incredibly impatient.

He’s not. I saw him play live a few times this season. I think he has decent vision, but Lewis for sure is much better, without a doubt much faster

 

[JCVol00]

He could be a star in this offense….



























I’ll see myself out

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Why are we going after this guy? Is this the best we can do at RB??? I mean really?

He had the best ypc on the team. Maybe Duke wasn't a good run blocking team.

4.1 yards overall.

Also, what do Duke fans know about football?

We are looking for depth…seems to me like the perfect depth piece. Where else are we going to find an 1,000 yard all purpose back who doesn’t want a guaranteed starting spot?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

There were much better options in the portal early on at RB so naturally we gotta go after this one.

Staff is happy with what they have. Depth piece.

Miserable fanbase

Miserable fanbase

Last I checked the guy playing at QB in NC game, transferred from Duke.

Damn beat me to it!

Just like most of the ppl around here don't know basketball

 

[Bollweevil]

Maybe he excels at qb protection.

I think some fans have an inflated view of what options are in the portal.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Why would we pay for a big time RB? We don't need one in this offense and the money should be allocated elsewhere.

And let me guess...anyone that complained hasn't seen him play

Dude is plenty good. Experienced and plenty athletic for this level.

We once led the SEC in rushing (or was really close) with a sophomore Jabari Small and true freshman Jaylen Wright....and they weren't anything special then.

 

[rdk4121]

If we get him, he's probably not necessarily the starter. It's probably a by committee approach, and that's fine. Not to dissimilar from 2022 where we had no true number 1 option. I like Lewis and bishop, but we need experience.

This was the only season we really leaned on one guy primarily. Because Samp was that good.
