The Hurricanes have officially signed one of the top running backs in South Florida with Javian Mallory.
A six foot, 200 pound product from West Boca, Mallory has elite vision and balance. At the Under Armour Next camp in Miami, Mallory won RB MVP over elite competition such as 5-star Derrek Cooper.
This season Mallory averaged nearly 10 yards per carry, tallying up 1,114 yards and 18 total touchdowns his senior year.
Mallory also offers a receiving threat out of the backfield. At the Under Armour Camp, the separation he got against opposing linebackers was ridiculous. He easily won every rep I watched with smooth cuts at the top of routes.
His film offers a lot to like. His cuts are sharp and decisive, waiting for the perfect gap to open and attacking. Even when the gap isn’t there, Mallory has the strength and power to force his way through the line of scrimmage with both brute force and a stiff arm move in his ****nal.
