Is Alabama commit Richard Young the next Joe Mixon adamgorney compares current elite high school running backs to college and NFL superstars:
but when he got his opportunity the former high four-star prospect shined with the Nittany Lions and then was a second-round pick. With Haynes listed as the No. 1 running back in the class, a similar trajectory could be in his future.Mixon was that guy who walked into a camp or any event in high school and you were awestruck because he looked like a million bucks, chiseled out of granite and then he went on the field and produced in a big way as well. Young is very similar in so many ways.
Mixon ended up as a five-star all-purpose back out of Oakley Freedom and right now Young is a high four-star from Lehigh Acres Lehigh who is a physical beast at running back, bounces off would-be tacklers and uses his power to gain extra yards. Both Mixon at that stage and Young do run a little upright and have some stiffness, they’re not as fluid as some other running backs, but the trade-off is that they bring power and force that others just don’t have at the same stage.
