ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
Northwestern commit carried the load offensively in Harrison’s final year, rushing for 1,492 yards and 22 touchdowns. Scored 318 points in career with 53 touchdowns. Rod is one of the most exciting and talented football players in the 2019 recruiting class. He was “THE MAN” for Harrison. He played CB, Safety, Nickle, Dime, RB, QB, WR, and was one of the best Kickoff Returners. He has the speed and has the ability to kick it into another gear whenever he wishes to do so. He can weave in and out of defenders as an offensive threat and he does the same coming up avoiding blockers to make tackles as a DB. As a DB, he is patient and will absorb receivers and has the instincts and smarts to break on the ball at the right time and not giving the receiver any room to get separation. He loves to hit in run support. There is not much he can’t do. Power 5 recruit and will be a big time player in college.
