The next Elite RB from Arkansas?

[#1 STUNNA]

Nope.  Kid has too skinny of a build.  He wont be able to play RB at the D1 level.  More of a basketball player/WR type.  Bad work ethic though

Is the 5"11 185 lb false?

[WADHOG]

Dyer accomplished more in his college career than did Hill.  Sad but true.

but he wasn't a Hog....

[Pork Twain]

putting Tennpenny, DW, and Dyer aside the name Cobbs, Hill,and Dmac is an insult.

Must not have followed DW in college or in the NFL. 

[WADHOG]

Carl Turner is going to LSU if they offer.

[kibster]

If there was an elite RB in Arkansas who was going to be a senior next year, he'd already have an offer.

I saw every one of Crockett's games last year. He has speed and power - great determination near the goal line. Very little wiggle, average acceleration/burst. Easy to tackle until he gets going, then difficult for one guy to bring down.

Crockett also dealt with an injury last year that hampered his acceleration and agility.  He also needs to work on being more physical and the coaches are working hard with him on that.  Hogs coaches are following him closely.

Is the 5"11 185 lb false?

A little under 5-11 and 175 pounds.  Which that isnt bad size for a sophmore but you have to remember he hasnt grown in 3 years so he's done.  He doesnt have the frame to hold 210 pds.  If he plays at the next level it will be CB or WR

[razorfrog]

Very non physical as well

true. that is another reason he seems like a true WR to me.  Also has great hands.  Work ethic is a huge concern though

[O Shucky]

It's worth a look at Jon Johnson from Benton Harmony Grove

Can't find anything on him anywhere? Is he a D-1 prospect?

There are some good RBs, but i dont think we sign any RBs from inside the state next year. JMO

I agree. With our whole offense going through the running game, we need ELITE guys coming in going forward.

[OneTuskOverTheLine™]

Harmony grove has a d1 football player. My how times are changing

Hell..! DMAC came from Oak Grove... UNOWUTIMEAN Verne..?

[Bacon_Bitz]

Well, I would take Crockett as a 2nd RB in the class, but I do think we need one truly elite RB to come in as well.

I've never watched him play in person, just seen him in the video clips you posted of him.  What's his 40 time?  You have an unusually large amount of information on this kid, do you go to School with him or are you a relative or perhaps his Dad?  Just curious, in any case, seems to be a fine RB, whether he gets a call to the Hill or not it looks as though he'll have a good offer somewhere to play ball and get a great education in return, can't beat that.

[#1BOOM]

Monta Thomas is a 6'0 195 pound sophomore from Hermitage.. He'll be the next great RB to come out of Arkansas..

He will be a stud when it's all said and done.

[MrKlem10]

He better move to Warren

I agree... He will have some help in Warren and coaching that will help him get to the next level

Good football players in Warren...just don't like the swamp people that live there.  Where did you say you were from?

Thanks, that was thorough.

I've been real critical of Pettway as a D1 prospect, but his teammate Hopkins?

S-t-u-d. I don't know about someone calling him the  "best ever" at Nashville but he's gonna be just awesome.

I spent my middles school and high school days in Bradley County and would gladly go back if the opportunity arose!!!

I have heard from a lot of my nashville buddies that he could go down as the best... I'm not sure who the best ever was... Maybe whitmore? He's one of the best I have seen at the high school level. Not sure of others.

4.5 40. No I'm not a relative just a Harmony Grove supporter. All the information I mentioned all came from various Harmony Grove's Athletics and recruiting websites (HUDL, MaxPreps, Facebook, Twitter). I quess you just have to know where to look.

Even though Whitmore didn't really pan out in college, make no mistake, he is one of best I've ever seen at HS level, bar none. Dominant in a way you don't see too often.
