If you are refering to Elliot, he is only a sophmore. I think its to early to tell and i know he is not D1 material right now, but alot can change in two years.

Very true. And those two years might not only approve his level of play, but also his maturity on the field. Let's face it Highlands fans, there are some kids on Highlands team (I won't name names) that just a couple of years ago displayed the same type of behavior that Elliot has displayed. Fortunately, with Dale's guidance and the "assistance" of some of the seniors, those Highlands kids have modified their on field behavior. Let's hope that the same holds true with Elliot. It's really tough on a very young kid for the coaches to pump up and encourage his "pound it" running style and then at the same time to expect him to not play "very aggressively". I think as he gets older and more mature, he'll tone his, at times, over the top behavior down to a more acceptable level.

I didn't buy into the hype of some that he is one of the best running backs in the state this year. He's not. But he is one of the best sophomore running backs I've seen in quite a while. If the kid keeps working (and I'm told that such will not be an issue) he could turn into one of the top running backs in the state in the future, maybe as soon as next year. Hopefully he will emotionally mature right along with his improvement as a running back.
