Idk if he will crack the rotation but every position is always open pre season.

He was recovering from a knee injury during the early part of the season, and really came on late (7 yards per carry in his last 4 games). 2019 was his first season at RB in college and he was pretty good. Will he be a starter? Probably not, but with Bentley and TJ back that's not what we needed. I think he will make a great rotational piece with Bentley and TJ. His style is somewhat between the two, and we will still have Lavine as the bulldozer. We will have 4 different but complimentary backs with experience. We can sprinkle the freshman in if we want, but we have the depth where they shouldn't need to play.

Moral of the story, its not a sexy addition, but it is a good one.

Hopefully will add depth and allow the incoming FR RBs to RS, assuming neither Dawson or Epton, Jr is going to come in and be an immediate impact guy
