Known for being a bruising back with solid abilities across the board. Was elevated to 5 star status late in the cycle after taking the starting job during his junior year. Solid measurables, good work ethic, and great abilities in the weight room. Looking for opportunities at the next level in a system where Messiah’s ability to break tackles can be showcased properly. Team first player.
