A Packaged Deal

So often during recruiting visits and what not you hear players saying they would like to go to the same school as their friends or teammates. The idea is a novel one but not always an easily done thing. Many times a team may want one player, but not the other. Or they may only have enough scholarships for one player. Or the fact that both players may not agree on the choice of schools that they do receive the same offers from.

Well in the case of Benjamin and Javares McRoy they really will be attending the same school, Texas Tech. The Lakeland high school teammates and brothers made the decision and seem to be sticking to it. Ben is a senior and in my mind is very underrated. Javares is junior who has steadily seen his stock rise. What I see in Ben is a tough smart athlete who has been playing running back, but like Golden Tate when he makes the jump will move to wide receiver. He has nice hands coming out of the backfield and definitely has a knack for making guys miss and getting the extra yard.

When it comes to Javares he is the game breaker. He has speed to burn along with his elusive change of direction that makes Javares a nightmare in the open field. I see Javares having the biggest impact between the brother duo. He has the ability to make plays in the return game which will allow him to see time early on in his career. I see the brothers both having a very productive career ahead of them.

Check out their duel video to see what you think of the tandem.......
