On first glance he looks like a power back with decent vision. Woody definitely still starts. Price is still probably the 2nd option. Lee probably takes Pittman?s carries and handles short yardage situations in my opinion.

In my opinion, Pittman is the best back. Now let?s see who enters the portal.
Cue kb in 3,2,1.....
Marks-Lee-Pittman
If this guy was the best guy at Penn State I would think he would maybe start over Marks potentially right?
RBs in the SEC get worn down physically as the season unfolds.
We will need all of these guys to contribute at different stretches of the season.
This guy gets it.
The days of 2 RB's being available all season or almost all season are gone. RB's take a lot more punishment in a more run oriented offense. You will see 4 or 5 guys get meaningful playing time instead of 2 or 3.
NFL teams don't carry a bunch of RB's but they only have a 54 man roster. They also have a practice squad and they can sign a FA at almost any point. College teams need more on their roster to make it through a 13 game season and that is just making a bowl game. Some teams play as many as 15 games.
I would love to get a another DL or OL in the portal but we could use RB #'s as well. If the coaches think he can help us, I am on board with it.
He had a really good 2021 season. He just happened to get beat out by a guy with an NFL future. Sounds like a perfect pickup for the RB room.
He'll get plenty of playing time! I'm excited about the season.
I really think our defense takes a step forward this year with all the seniors and the fact that the offense will be moving the chains more consistently.
You have absolutely nothing to lose adding a guy like this. At bare minimum he gives you solid depth. Yet, he has potential to give you more.
