I couldn't speak for JJ, and would not disrespect him. But for my money, Elliott is the best back in the State. He has played against the best competition in the state and put up numbers against the best 6A district in the state. He was coming off the concussion that he recieved in the Campbell County game when they played HHS the 2nd time, and Ryle went to Hempel out of the backfield. The Elliott that I just watched this Friday is a D1 level player.

I only know about JJ from the writings of this website. I seen no other stories from any other median, but I take the judgements from everyone who has seen him play. Will JJ get more than 4 yards a pop, he may well be able to. But you can't make the comparison to Elliott from that. I'd ask the Bird fans after Friday's game, they have seen Travis several times over the past few years and will get to witness JJ this week.

I have seen Elliott many times over the last several years and Jude twice live and several times on internet. I would say very different styles. Elliott is much bigger and rather run you over and try to hurt you rather than run around you(and then be the first one up off the turf and back in the huddle). Jude is faster and looking for the open hole. Jude looks tough, but Elliot is a beast. Jude did show he likes to hit on D, but on O he would rather use his speed to run away from you. Elliot will not show that you hurt him(unless you knock him out like Campbell Co. did), and in the games I have seen Jude play he is slow to get up and looks fatigued at times (which means nothing as long as he keeps adding up the yards). Elliott's body size makes him a no doubt D1 player, Jude's body size leaves question mark(The kid definitely has heart).
