I understand he will get bigger and stronger in a college program. Gehart is a 30+ carry a game back. AC is not that type of back. I am not trying to take anything away from him. I am just saying the comparison or asking him to do the same things Gehart does/did is not going to work.

If he plays RB in college it will more in the lines of how teams use backs like a Reggie Bush. Lower amount of carries (along the same amount of carris per game as he did this year) but work to find other ways to get the back the ball such as screens and in the passing game.

I understand where you're coming from but you also have to realize that AC didn't carry the ball more than 15 times a game because he simply didn't have to. Highlands also had Fennell, Streeter, and Bardo (late in the season) to split the carries with him.

It really depends on the program he goes to. Not many teams really use a power back anymore because the college game has changed to more of a pass first, spread type offense with high scoring. Austin is more than capable of carrying the ball 20+ times a game though. Let's not forget he just carried the rock 25 times for 176 yards in the state championship game.

He is the type of kid that will do anything to help his team. If that means carrying the ball 20+ times a game, that's what he'll do.
