1982 Media Guide: One of the top college tailbacks in the nation … an ideal back with the speed to run outside and the power to hit inside.

1980 Media Guide: Has good acceleration and power … moved to fullback in spring drills to compensate for the loss of Paul Campbell and Ric Volley.

1979: Played tailback at a freshman and averaged 5.9 yards per carry in 37 attempts … caught four passes and returned seven kickoffs for 142 yards … divided the backup tailback spot with Jim Gaylehad a 33-yard scoring run against Wisconsin in which he ran over several would-be tacklers.

Personal: Hobbes are chess, backgammon and music … admires Earl Campbell.
