The red-shirt Jr from Miami, FL led the team in rushing last season with 737 yards, 12 TD's, and averaged 5.1 yds per carry last year, limiting former AU RB and NFL-bound Mike Dyer to a back-up role. The 5-9 215 lb power back converted 13 of his 18 3rd down carries for 1st downs, 7th best of all major conferences. 135 of his 144 carries were for gains, 3rd best in ACC. Also a dangerous kick returner and pass reciever, and likely their most explosive offensive weapon.
