That's totally ridiculous. Although, I bet you can find the same thing on any NFL RB. It is still very impressive, especially considering he is 15 years old.

The kids got speed. He routinely beat the defenses when it came down to a footrace between him and a defender.
He's also got stamina as witnessed by his ability to keep running and break tackles well down the field.

However, on over half those runs his line had stymied the defense leaving him with at most one guy to beat, so they should get some credit as well.

There were also some remarkable displays of poor tackling, but I'd imagine after playing against that offense for 3 quarters defenses must be exhausted.

I wonder if he can read or write? (not that it matters to the college that will offer him a scholarship).
Hut, Hut, Hammers!

Agree that he seems to be getting great blocking. There were more than a few runs on that video in which he made multiple defenders miss, also, though, sometimes in a very limited physical area and one right after another.

Any way you slice it, the kid looks impressive to me. I played with and against a few RBs in high school who ended up at Division 1 colleges, and I can say that none of them could have made a highlight reel even close to that over their entire career, much less in half of one season...

The kid's name is Noel Devine. He's from Fort Myers, FL, and those were actually highlights of last year, his freshman year, when he ran for nearly 1100 yards. In one game his sophomore year, he had 358 yards and six touchdowns on NINE carries.

He is only 5'7 and 180 pounds. He looked bigger then that on the breaking those tackles.

I was watching tv a few weeks back and Deion Sanders was being interviewed. I guess this kid lived with Deion for awhile. One or both parents are not around. He was living in Florida with grandma or his mother. He was getting in a little trouble and Deion brought him in to live with him. However, he has since left and is now back living in Florida. Deion said this kid was unbelievable. Do we know where he is playing his college ball?

Some of those runs were just unbelievable. Especially the screen pass towards the end of the highlights. It basically looks like he does whatever he wants on the field...

I did a google search on him and he is a senior this year. He has not made up his mind on where he will be attending school. He will be an exciting player to watch on the next level.
