RB targets

I’d hope for Harvey, Ott, Devin Neal, Rashad Amos. Dallan Hayden from Ohio State is rumored to be hitting the portal also, but I’d look for Ole Miss there

I’m still rolling with it being Damien Martinez from Oregon State:

- cheaper for NIL acquisition
- from TX may know Cam
- 6’0 232 has the size Mario wants
- last year rushed for 1182 yards and 9 TDs
- last two seasons rushed for 2,100 yards with 16 TDs and a 6.1 average
Would be ideal but makes you wonder why he didnt transfer to Mich St with his head coach. Maybe hes one of those very loyal guys like Fifita, Mcmillan and Seth Henigan?

Over 1,400 yards last year definitely raises the floor. In his last 9 games, averaged 125 yards per game against teams like Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, West Virginia, G Tech, Kansas and Baylor.

He was one of the best backs in the country last year lol

I believe our run-game/RB Room will be better for a multitude of reasons next season.

In him I see a RB with the production, reliability & physical traits to raise our floor, who lacks the short-area quickness, lateral movement & long-speed to raise our ceiling.

Not saying his presence wouldn't be a boost; just saying I believe there are backs at a higher level that I hope become available.
 
Oh, I think we have a pretty good idea.

How loyal though can a Texas kid stuck in a ****hole Oregon town with minimal NIL (their coach has said how bad it is there)
 
I’m still rolling with it being Damien Martinez from Oregon State:

- cheaper for NIL acquisition
- from TX may know Cam
- 6’0 232 has the size Mario wants
- last year rushed for 1182 yards and 9 TDs
- last two seasons rushed for 2,100 yards with 16 TDs and a 6.1 average

Martinez from Oregon State would be a great pickup....
