I guess I have to ask, what is the story with Masen Mitchell, according to Maxpreps he rushed for 1615 yards adn 25 TD's last year. Including a 6.3 yards per carry average for Chalmette last year. He averaged 161.5 yards per game including 8 games over 100 yards and two of those over 200 yards vs East Jefferson and Wiggins. He also had 96 vs St Thomas Aquinas, he only had one pedestrian game vs Holy Cross where he rushed for 40 yards. He had 6 TD's vs West Jefferson and 191 yards. I thought maybe it was size, but he is 5'10 190 lbs. He is ranked as the #63 ranked RB in Louisiana. He also caught 10 passes for 144 yards which is a 14.4 yard per catch average. The only negative I can see is that he had 5 fumbles and lost 4 of them last year. But to me it seems like he would have gotten more looks than a Walk on with us. Don't get me wrong, I am happy to have him, but could he have not gotten a mid major scholarship or even a full ride to a FCS school based on his size and numbers, or did he just want to play for us?

He may be slow?
