Class of 2015 RB Dontae Strickland (NJ) Signed LOI

[anomander]

Kid has a legit shot at early playing time outside of Erv the position is really wide open.

I fully expect him to be a big part of the offense next year. He is my favorite commit in the whole class.

Strickland ties the game at 7-7 with a 6-yard touchdown run out of the Wildcat. Good blocking in front of him.

Dontae with the interception. Down 14-7.

Dontae Strickland makes an over-the-shoulder interception on an overthrown pass. Not getting much action on offense, but making noise on D.

Strickland takes a kick return 52 yards into enemy territory with South Brunswick down 21-7 late. First time he's really stretched his legs.

And that'll be the only time. South Brunswick loses to Manalapan 21-7. Strickland's next game (assuming he signs LOI) will be for Syracuse.

Strickland is clearly a playmaker. He could be effective on either side of the ball. But he needs to get touches. We need a good punt or kickoff returner. He'll get a look first on offense, but I could see him at defensive back as well.

@tae_strick_23 Next chapter now my brother! Starts now

 

[Libero2]

Dudes play today makes me question (very minuscule amounts) whether he should be looked at as purely an RB. Instead of playing the other side of the ball.

 

[bothsocksup]

Im thinking this kid is our Safety for the next 4 years

 

[Orange4]

Gotta think he is going to be used as a running back/slot we need playmakers on offense we have enough young playmakers on defense to be good enough.

 

[money3189]

This kid is a RB. Do you guys see what he is able to do with that offense? that double wing offense he is in isn't fooling anyone. They are not big upfront. The yardage he put up this year is very impressive especially when each team keys on you. I will say that he would have a great career as a safety too.

Okay, this kid is about as solid as AJ Long was last year. In fact, there seems to be many more commits that are 100% solid and showing it; more than any other year I can recall.

I'm sure he could play either but this is exactly the type of player we NEED on offense.

We're only looking at him as an RB. He's an impact player that will get carries next season.

Acosta did a great job with him. There was a point I was extremely worried. He definitely had the full court press put on him a couple times, but we did some great damage control. This will be a hard won battle, and him coming up hear and excelling will only make it that much sweeter.
