Hough obviously has fantastic stats and I love having him as a commit. He is obviously better than his 5.2 Rivals rating. But keep in mind there are other RB's on that list that have very high YPC and are not even on recruiting sites.  But I really like Hough and what he will bring. It will be nice to have that option of a big punishing back that other defenses are really afraid to tackle. Elmore was pretty much solely a blocking back.  I'm not sure if I see Hough as being a primary RB but I could see him play more of a blocking HB role like Elmore but getting 5-10 carries a game. Definitely some goal line carries and more when we are running out the clock when ahead.

But honestly I also wouldn't be completely surprised if he ultimately ended up at MLB.  Can you imagine a guy with his size and strength in the middle of our LB group? Good luck trying to move that kid with a head of steam when he is trying to plug the hole. And I don't think you can keep him blocked for too long before he sheds it and makes a tackle.  I feel like that kind of stout physical presence may be what is needed as a MLB in our 3-3-5 front. I like Cantin Arku as a player but I feel like he may be a bit too tall to man the middle in this scheme.  I'm guessing Hough is more in the 6'-'2" range and heavier and stronger than him already.
