Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 2291579"] ...you seem overly concerned with ht & wt. If you know football there is a program weight and real weight so your skepticism is probably warranted. Not all football players in this country can run a 4.37 40 as a senior in high school - he's ranked 4th nationally. If his height and weight is as is stated in the article below then you do not have to worry about it. Speed kills and with his elusiveness with next years team will destroy some of our ACC opponents IMHO. [ATTACH=full]109072[/ATTACH] I posted an earlier article,(the same as phat orange posted on this same page). He quit track to concentrate on building his strength and weight after committing to us. I am taking him at his word and the authors. Perhaps you should wait till he gets on campus and get your tape and scale out to make sure he measures up. At an illegal speed of 4.37, so far, I am sure Dino will find the right place for him in the SU backfield. I’ve also included some info on SU’s Joe Morris who is only 5’7” and could only run a 4.5 but he did alright.

What happened in the game For the Hamilton Huskies, Jawhar Jordan rules. And runs. And breaks ankles. And slips tackles. And turns 5-yard gainers into 25-yarders. He did it all game Friday night for 6th-ranked Hamilton, leading the Huskies to a 42-28 season-opening win over a host Boulder Creek team that did not go quietly. Standout Performer Jawhar Jordan, Hamilton. His 57-yard second-quarter gallop got Hamilton out of poor field position and set up his own 1-yard scamper for a score that gave Hamilton the lead for good in the second quarter. [B]And after Taylor Fragale recovered a Boulder Creek fumble, Jordan somehow slipped his 5-foot-11, 185-pound frame through Boulder Creek's defense on quarterback Tyler Shough's perfect screen pass execution for the TD that made it 21-7 at the half.[/B] TWO SWIFT RUNNERS SELECTED BY GIANTS By FRANK LITSKY Published: April 28, 1982 The Giants, 25th in rushing and 28th and last in total offense last year, tried to remedy those situations in a hurry yesterday in the National Football League draft. On the first two rounds, they chose Harold (Butch) Woolfolk of Michigan and Joe Morris of Syracuse, two swift, durable and productive 22-year-old running backs. ''This time,'' said Young, ''we tried to do for our offense what we did for our defense last year.'' Though the Giants received strong inside running last year from Rob Carpenter at fullback, they had no outside threat. In recent weeks, they timed Morris in 4.5 seconds and Woolfolk in 4.55 for the 40-yard dash, the traditional measuring distance in pro football, and they think that speed will make a major difference. Morris's career totals show 813 carries for 4,299 yards, the 11thhighest total in major college history. He is the Syracuse career leader, far outdistancing such Orangemen as Larry Csonka, Floyd Little, Ernie Davis and Jim Brown. He averaged 25.1 yards on 40 career kickoff returns, and he is strong enough to have bench-pressed 375 pounds. He was selected to the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Bowl'][U]Pro Bowl[/U][/URL] in '85 and '86 seasons and also received All-NFL Honors for his performance those two years. Towards the end of the 1988 season, he totaled 1,318 attempts, 5,296 yards and 48 touchdowns for the New York Giants. Morris retired from professional football in 1991 with the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Browns'][U]Cleveland Browns[/U][/URL] and finished his NFL career with 5,585 rushing yards, 111 [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reception_(American_football)'][U]receptions[/U][/URL] for 960 yards, and 52 touchdowns.
