From Scout.com - The Bulls, never taking day off, have recently offered 2012 running back prospect MacGarrett Kings out of University School of Nova in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
The 5'10" 180-pound start is rated as the 44th best running back prospect in the class of 2012 (rated as a 3-star recruit). In his junior season, Kings helped lead the way for his team to the state title, rushing for 30 touchdowns, showing his incredible ability to find the endzone.
Kings already has a large numbers of offers on the table including Bowling Green, Buffalo, Cincinnati, FSU, Louisville, UCF, Wake Forest, WVU, Wisconsin and now USF.
Kings is a very fast and shifty running back, making him an ideal player to line up in the backfield or simply throw the ball to in open space. The competition is already thick for him and there are plenty of other schools that will offer this highly productive running back.
Check out some of the footage of Kings from his sophomore season. As you can see he has great hands and can get downfield in the passing game, using his body well and bringing the ball into his body. He is also a threat in the return game. He has 4.4 speed and incredible footwork. He is an electric player that the Bulls should watch carefully.
A student from Cardinal Gibbons actually mentioned this young fellow to me and I managed to catch one of his games (by chance, not intentionally). I think he'll be well received at USF. Good shifty speed. Not Mo Plancher but something about him reminds me of Mo. I think he'd be a great addition and could compete with the rest of the field out of the gates.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Watching his speed and footwork, he is a very dangerous player in space. He has the same body size as Mo like you mention, but his athletic ability and speed are above Mo. He would be a big time pick up but the competition is tough already.
