    He was a 4* ATH coming out of HS. I have heard he is a lot like Hester. He could play either RB or FB and has great hands coming out of the backfield.

    I think he was moved to WR this year.

    A 220 pound WR that runs a 4.6 forty? Doubt it.

    he's apparently faster than 4.6 and he's a rb now from what i've heard. he was supposedly one of the most impressive backs we had in the preseason camp.

    i'd say he doesn't get much more playing time than murphy is getting this year unless he's capable of playing hester's role.

    the big question is why people are clamoring for a rb commitment this class when we'll have four capable backs next year on top of next year's in state class overflowing with incredible running backs.

    man i hope miles stays, the future is incredibly bright.

    Sorry was watching my fantasy update and meant to say LB. If he is not a LB now, the only way he might get PT is at LB next year but that is still a big if.

    I heard he was originally going to play LB but was moved to RB. Wouldnt be surprised if he moved back to LB since Odom was kicked off.

    If he can play FB I would love to see him in the I with Scott and Williams. I would love to see it with Hester too, dont know why we dont do that more.

    Don't forget that it took Hester 3 years before being the player he is right now.

    I think Ridley will be a good one, but I don't think he'll step into the versatile role of a Hester-type FB/RB next year.
