LWC

[OTFBrandon]

Who is LWC’s best comparison? I haven’t seen anyone say that he has a comp but he’s definitely not your typical small running back like a Darren Sproles or Clyde Edwards-Elaire.

Bobby and Gerry have made the Maurice jones drew comp.

I like MJD. I also like D'Andre Swift. 

[Bobby Burton]

I come back to MJD and Darren Sproles.

Posted in another thread, but Dylan Sampson is kinda where I'm leaning. Sampson likely has a longer wing, but similar frames. 2024 SEC offensive POTY at Tennessee

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Someone compared him to Lamichael James, which seemed like a solid comp

That's where our convo went to ...

Sproles in HS

 

From a future frame standpoint and similarities as a runner ... MJ-D is very close

I don't mind that one. LW-C a little more explosive at same age, but frame very similar and the undervalued ability to run it inside with all the jump cuts, skip cuts, vision and elite balance

His senior HUDL:

Sproles feels right

Idk a lot of the same issues Gibson had at Texas I see LWC having the same. I watched a 20 minute HUDL and only seen him catch one pass. You're not getting on the field for Sark as a running back of you can't pass protect or catch. Not saying LWC can't do those things, I'm just saying it's not on tape. I'll hold my judgement until I hear the things I'm looking for once he gets on campus.

LWC best natural runner of the three

Baxter is so tough to rank because of injuries… out of HS, he was as good of a three down back as any of them. His football intelligence was off the charts
