Ohio's Running Backs

Posted: 8/8/2015 11:55:10 AM

Thinking forward to fall, with Ohio's offensive line, Ohio's running backs should have a big fall. Let's take another look at them as a reminder of what they each can do. Here's are links to their recruiting threads, and to a video that shows them in high school:

AJ OUellette 5'10" 195, Sophomore:

Hudl http://www.hudl.com/athlete/505122/highlights/67761375/v2
You can see his speed, north-south running, toughness, that he covers the ball with both hands when contact is imminent, and that he consistently gets yards after contact. (You also see him doing a little of everything, playing RB, QB, DB, returning kicks, returning punts, blocking kicks, placekicking, even executing an onside kick.)

Daz Patterson 5'7" 177, Senior:

In space, he makes people miss. You can see how dangerous he can be on kick and punt returns, and catching the ball in the flat.

Dorian Brown 5'11 196, Redshirt Sophomore:

He has good speed, and very good ability to see the field, and a good sense of when to cut back.

Papi White 5'9" 166, Redshirt Freshman

There is speed, and then there is SPEED. White has another gear.

Maleek Irons 6'0" 211, Redshirt Freshman
recruiting thread http://tinyurl.com/ody55o9

A big back that runs north south with good speed, he has the ability to read and follow blocks, and to make people miss, and make more yards than you expect.

I look forward to seeing all these guys on the field this fall, and I think that Ohio is going to get a lot of production from this group.

RB is a strength for our team this fall. The one intriguing back is Dorian Brown. I would love to see him used more and I hope his technique for ball security is improved. Three great power guys in Oulette, Brown and Irons.
Our quicks that make you miss in space are very good too. I saw Papi White in just a few carries at Kent last year but his acceleration is very impressive. We all know that Daz needs just a small crease and he is off to the races.
I wonder who will be handling punt and kickoff returns? Dixon,Walker,Bass???
