Malachi James I Evaluated him along with every other recruit. At Burlington HS in NJ he was used both ways O & D. He has excellent speed at a 4.2 + and played on D @ CB. He also was used at WR as well as RB and as a KOR. He was very good at all positions in NJ. Has excellent hands and they used him at WR a lot. Google him and watch his film.
I think we are wasting his time and ours having him standing in the EZ watching the ball kicked over his head. He could, because of his excellent hands, be used in the slot effectively. He is across the LOS at both the RB and WR positions in a sec. No one can catch him and he runs great routes. He was, if you look at his HS film, used in many wheel routes from both sides of the field. But, that is not all he can do. I hope they are planning on using him sooner than later.
I suppose having him close to the EZ has an effect on the kicker and other team ST in that you'd better kick it over his head or risk the possibility of a big return - no one is going to catch him once he gets going and I disagree with Franco Pizza in that Malachi can run in more than a straight line. He has many attributes, and I hope they get, and we get to see them. Do not want to see him transfer because of lack of playing time.
