So last year I went to the Stratford vs. Temple second round playoff game that was played at Bryan HS. Didn't know anything about Rakeem at the time but my goodness the kid was an effing monster.

Surely someone else was at this game and can attest, but I believe his rushing total was 432 yards on 30-something carries and 5 TD's against the eventual state runner-up. It was a truly incredible performance. I have no doubt that this kid would be a national top 50 prospect if not for the grade issues. I hope they really are sorted out.

If someone else was at the game or can find his actual stats from the game, that would be awesome. I'm telling you I've never seen anything like it.

Saw that.

Looks good. Bit of a long strider. Reminds me of a slightly smaller Derrick Henry type. Should be a beast once he gets to play next year as a fish.
