Nothing about Seth McIntosh from GR Christian? Funny, I heard he was getting all kinds of interest from colleges. Sat out last year with injury and his first year at Christian he gets the starting RB spot, averages over 8 yards a carry and keeps defenses honest as a true running threat. Might be time to brush up on your list of prospects…
Didn’t play when we saw Christian, guess he was still hurt.
