Bobby Burton Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Tyler Chapel Hill running back Rickey Stewart has been committed to SMU for months. But not anymore. The 5-foot-11, 180-pounder, announced his change of plans via a Twitter post earlier today. Texas is expected to be a key player in his recruitment. The Longhorns offered him a scholarship on Jan. 20, the program's first Junior Day of the new recruiting cycle. Stewart rushed for 2,855 yards and 40 TDs last season, averaging more than 10 yards per carry. View full news 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Burton Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 This is what 40 TDs looks like. http://www.hudl.com/video/3/14958311/64deebfcbd75820a0c998e36 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted January 31 Moderators Share Posted January 31 Very talented prospect who clearly was impacted by the Texas offer. Said it was an "experience that he had never felt before" when officially receiving the offer from Tashard Choice back on the Junior Day. That Texas offer meant a ton to him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeDoe Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Man, just watched 9 minutes of highlights and this kid was only tackled a handful of times outside the end zone. What’s his level of competition like at Chapel Hill? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s his level of competition like at Chapel Hill? That is the issue with a lot of RB highlight videos. Its just a collection of long runs, usually better to skim through some game film if you can find it. I didnt get through it all, but did notice he runs very upright. Though I didnt see a play where he needed to lower his pads. Definitely has speed and a nice 1 cut running style. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, most plays he only needed one cut, but on a few other plays he showed great vision and elusiveness. I’m hoping he’s like Jonathan Brooks and D’Onte Foreman where he just makes it look easy. That’s why I asked about his level of competition. Is he in a tough district? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sees the hole, its one cut, and he is off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have some breakaway speed but what stands out to me is 1. The speed doesn't gas out on long runs and 2. He doesn't lose any speed with change of direction or cuts. Very effortless running. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
