Something Special....

Its not often that a talented recruit in a state that is well known for putting out talent gets looked over, but heck it happens. You have your late developers, the kids who need proper coaching, and sometimes kids just don't show much until given the proper opportunity.

Well down in Tyrone, GA I think a very talented running back by the name of Rajion Neal is being overlooked. Now don't get me wrong this kid has offers from Louisville, Kentucky, Middle Tennessee, and he is committed to Mississippi State. But in my opinion this 5'11 200 lbs. kids has a load of talent. After watching the film its clear that with a little collegiate coaching he will be a force even in the defensive laden SEC. Neal is a big strong running back who has very nice feet, moves them smoothly and decisively in the hole. He does not tip toe in the hole, but makes short quick cuts much like Willis McGahee and Ricky Williams.

Rajion also possesses superior balance that allows him to absorb hits and continue down field. That balance coupled with a stocky thick frame make taking Rajion down extremely difficult. The grind it out type of mentality in the SEC will suit Rajion's game like a glove. I think it is only a matter of time before this kid really blows up and becomes a Matt Forte like talent, a kid not heavily recruited but does extremely well and carries the load for his squad.

Check out Rajion's video and pay attention to the ease at which he moves through the holes an his ability to make defenders miss effortlessly and with subtle jukes.
