Coach McGuirk

5'10/200 with speed is just about perfect for me. At his age, I could see

him leveling up to 215, which is my ideal. Guys like that are incredibly hard to tackle, hide behind olinemen, often squirm for extra yards and figure out how to fall forward. Lots of ultra successful backs were that exact size - Emmitt Smith comes to mind. I know, I know...but I'm excited to see how he does.

Vippie1 • 04/29/26 06:09 PM ET
247 has our class ranked #23. I would say meeting expectations.

Hard to say, don't recall any 4*s so it seems par for the course. I can see

I hate the fact that recruiting rankings take into account the total number
BoozVT • 04/29/26 10:45 PM ET
Agree. Average recruit ranking matters more than # of recruits.**
