'24 VA RB Peyton Lewis (Tennessee)

[BruisedOrange]

With this RB's speed and size...

One game he will have 200 yds rushing, then the next game only 80--but, that game we'll have 500 yards passing.

DCs picking their poison will be harder than ever with a back who can break tackles and burn it to the end zone from any distance.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Damn...once this offense starts deploying trust dynamic backs like him....sheesh

 

[Jackcrevol]

Had forgotten until looking at this kids recruiting profile on 247 that Montario Hardesty is the RB coach for USCjr. Makes sense they would hire him after how he roasted the chickens in 09

he was that entire offense, sans occasional Crompdiddlyompton deep pass

Ready for this one to pop…wish he’d announce before his OVs!

yeah we need a big time targer to pop.

Don’t care. What’s his 400 time?

Is this a TN/SC battle?

At running back, Tennessee continues to have a ton of momentum with Peyton Lewis as he and Jerry Mack have an outstanding relationship.

It will be interesting to watch him this season to see if he is more sudden and explosive. Right now, his play speed doesn't match his track speed. If that changes, he will be dangerous in college.

Can that be coached?

Hope you're right

Can that be coached?

It can be developed in drills and training.

Check out the difference between Wright’s freshman and sophomore seasons for your answer

Yeah I was going to say football speed drills would probably get him there. Agree if that football speed can match his track speed, he is going to be an incredible player.

When he gets in the open field you see the speed. That offense they run at Salem makes him have to do a lot of hesitating waiting for the hole to develop.

He has long speed. It's his start/stop/start. Look at a guy like Jamyr Gibbs. He's able to take off like a Tesla. Some other guys have to build acceleration like their shifting gears. If this kid gets in the open field, they won't catch him, but he needs to be able to hit top speed quicker and also be able to turn it on if he has to hesitate or change directions on the field. I really like him as a prospect. I'm just commenting on what will take his game to the next level to potentially make him elite.

We have to land a Peyton Lewis mix of Peyton Manning and Jamal Lewis

Science!

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Salem is a lot like the SWVA version of Maryville. Great program, perennial power, not a lot of P5 talent.

Saw him play against my old school last fall, and he can flat fly. Salem wins state titles just about every season.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Is this a TN/SC battle?

Yes. The Virginia Tech fans here hate UT so bad and really hate he's in their backyard and have no shot at landing him. They all want SC to get him because of Beamer. And they swear he's an SC lock due to knowing Shane a long time. I'm hearing UT has put the full court press on and we are trending.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see him only take an OV to Knoxville
