Recruits Roderick Williams and Scott Ekpe-Lewisville TX

I shared this over on the scout.com board and wanted to post it here too. 

I went and checked out a couple of Kill verbals tonight in Lewisville TX.  Ekpe didnt play in the first half.(I had to leave at halftime with Lewisville up 19-0).  But Williams looked great, this kid is big and has good speed and is a downhill between the tackles when running.  But he has really soft hands and caught a few balls in the flat with one going for about 80 yards where he outran the LB's, broke a couple tackles and outran the DB's for Grand Prairie.  After that play he looked to be cramped up(it was 105 at a 7:30 PM kickoff), but in earlier runs it took 4-5 guys to take him down.  Kids looks like a great recruit as a NR by scout so far.  Saw some MaxPreps guys there reporting and taking photos of him.  Im really excited about him.  Reminded me of a Marion Barber type runner.

GN NOTE:  re-published and put on front page.  Great stuff by our official-unofficial Texas high school recruiting expert.

Great stuff, thanks DG!

Any idea why Ekpe wasn’t playing?

Thanks

Im going to go check Lewisville Fighting Farmers out in about 4 weeks when the play on the road against Allen TX. Allen is the top team in the state at this point and is loaded with recruits. And I am not 100% sure if it is completed, but they were building a $65M football facility. Worth going just to see what that looks like at a High school.

"Lewisville Fighting Farmers???"

I’m assuming they must have obtained approval from the local co-op to use that as a nickname.

Game #2

Lewisville defeated Carrollton Creekview to move to 2-0

Roderick Williams rushed for 105 Yds on 19 carries and caught 2 passes for 11 Yds. Scoring 3 TD, one through the air. Kid is putting up nice stats. This game was on the road, always good to see a control ground game on the road.

9/30 is the big test vs Allen

You cannot defeat a Fighting Farmer

You can only hope to contain them / him / it..
