Athlete Michael Terry (6-3/216#)

[UTTUCK]

Does he fall between the cracks, or where does he fit in?  I would think he has the frame to add 15-20 lbs., and retain most of his speed.  Could he be the power RB we’ve been looking for?  Did he have any experience in HS playing defense?  Could he get into a LB rotation?

He had an additional meeting with Juluke this week. 

The thing with a big physical back is this. Were they big and physical in high school. That translates to the next level. Terry was big, but not often was he tasked with being a between the tackles back. Now, since moving to RB he has impressed and folks are excited about his future. But just because you are big, does not mean you are physical. There is a distinct difference there.

Could Terry be a difference maker eventually? Yeah, absolutely. Talented player. But it would be a misstep imo to put all of the responsibility on Terry to be the big body back.

Terry isn't playing defense btw.

He kind of reminds me of of Roschon switching from QB, I think they had similar frames even though Rojo put on 30 pounds in spring of his freshman year. I think these guys are similar types of athletes.

He passed Simon on depth chart before Citrus.

I think he would make the perfect H-Back, similar to the TE on Sark's National Champion Bama team. That guy was light in the britches and quick, and he moved him all over the place, but he was a great target that put a lot of pressure on the defense. He would be great in a 13-personnel package, with the other TE like Washington or this new guy from Michigan State.
