If Dave Campbell says so ...

The Story - Washington made offers to a handful of big-time tailbacks in the 2020 recruiting cycle with almost all of them residing in the Pac 12 footprint. However, they hedged their bets and looked around the Lonestar State during the winter and found Sunday who was a local-legend with his ability to run through tackles and defenses. On a trip to Seattle, Sunday fell in love with the program and in late May, he made the decision to commit to Washington over offers from schools like Baylor, Arkansas, Houston, Kansas and Kansas State.
Senior Season - While leading Connally to a berth in the semifinals in Region 2 of the Texas 4A D2 playoffs, Sunday rushed for nearly 2,200 yards and 35 touchdowns and earned Super Centex Sports Network Offensive Player of the Year and the District 8-4A Division II Offensive MVP. In his three years as a starter for Cadets, the hard-charging tailback rushed for over 5,000 yards and 80 touchdowns.
Opposing Coach's View - "We hated playing against them and he's a big reason why. I shouldn't say 'hated' because (Connally head coach) Shane (Anderson) is a good friend, but they made life rough on us. (Sunday) runs really hard. In boxing, you have boxers that have 'heavy hands', guys that hit you harder than you'd expect, well he's a guy that's like that. He has a great frame and he isn't small, but he just runs 'heavy'. He's almost impossible to bring down on first contact and you really have to go after his legs. His (leg) drive is outstanding. He just never stops churning them. He's got pretty good vision and his instincts are outstanding. I'd say the one thing that might cause him problems is he doesn't get up to top speed as quick as some of the big-time backs do. When he gets going, he's fine, but if you have a safety or linebacker with speed, they're going to be able to track him down. I'm sure they can work on some of that with him once he gets there. He's also a good leader. He rallied those guys all the time. He's a workhorse. To say we're glad he's gone would be an understatement. Good kid and a helluva football player. Should have worn a rubber though."
Opposing Players' View - "I played youth football with him and then against him for three years in high school. He's strong. You have to square up and make the tackle or he'll run right through your arm tackle. I know a guy who broke his arm trying to tackle him that way. Our coaches always talked about 'body tackling' and he was the guy they always showed us film of. We beat them once and held him to like 120 yards and counted that as a win. Our coaches pinched in a lot (along the defensive line) with him and then we brought our safeties up for contain and that frustrated him, but if he was able to get through the line, he was gone. Honestly, I don't know how you truly stop him because he can hurt you up the middle and bounce it outside if you don't have your (run) fits right. If you string him out though, he isn't a guy who can make you miss, so that was probably the one way to do it. Should have made sure that chick was on the pill, though." -
I love the idea that these people need anonymity to give these takes. What a FS invention this is. Gotta be a Kim idea.

As @RoadDawg55 has pointed out, 81% chance these takes are complete bullshit and just them manufacturing content.Quietcowskee said:I love the idea that these people need anonymity to give these takes. What a FS invention this is. Gotta be a Kim idea.
It's hard enough for Eklund to get a hold of any UW recruit as it is, how is he tracking down player's opponents and having them provide detailed breakdowns? -

Quite honestly, that's what I took from his film. -
So both of those fucks had comments about the pull out method not working. Smells like some bullshit to me.
