I can't say I'm impressed with his abilities as a RB (I could be totally wrong), but I appreciate him as a person and wish him the best.
How can you watch his film and not be impressed?
He's SO stiff, not very fast and his competition is "meh". I know Teq likes his league but I just watched a couple games there this past fall....it's not great. And IMO, Texas HS football is pretty overrated in comparison to what I see in LA, GA, SC or MS.....those boys are mammoth and fast!
On the positive side, I think he could be a mauler....but he just doesn't have much speed and the guys he's going to be up against are a lot bigger than what he's been running through. Another positive...he actually has good hip swivel, which is so weird with how stiff the rest of his body seems to be.
He seems like a good kid! But he's not a kid that's going to help us win a NC...and that's all I want at this point....level up..not even up.

I agree with you that this recruiting class so far is mainly a hot dumpster fire and being spurned by Ringo, Ricks, Smalls, Ransom, Flowe sucks and pisses me off.
But he's strong as fuck, and his name is Jay'veon and he likes to run right over fools. Someone brought up Josh Jacobs and I can see it. We can win a natty while giving Jay'veon some carries for sure, but we still need to recruit more backs like Robinson and Sam Adams.
I think this kid is going to light some people up. He has the right attitude to be coached up and become a punishing RB, IMO. We can use a guy like that.
I'm thrilled to have a kid like him in the program. Hard worker, tough as fuck. What's not to like?

He’s definitely not a finished product ... strong as fuck is clear ... the narrative is that he isn’t fast but I didn’t see him getting caught much on his film
Waco is pretty fast strategy and there tend to be good players there ... LT May be the best RB ever and is from Waco
Being 4A means the larger schools are going to overlook him ... just the way Texas works ... it’s at the higher end of 4A leagues in the state
Let’s just say that I like his upside ... I like his film more than Newton who I liked as well ... at least more than most here

For the record I love him

That said, he’s a 4-6 yd a carry guy that lacks the high end gear to get to the second level. I’d rather have him than Pleasant.
