How Loaded is GT at RB? Part 1 - Daniel Drummond

GT is absolutely loaded at running back. The 2 teams in recent history that have put the most RBs in the pros that were on the same college team at the same time was Oklahoma and Auburn from the 80s.

Remember the team with Bo Jackson, Lionel James, Brent fullwood, etc.?

GT is that good at running back this year and in this post we are going to start with 4th team B-back Daniel Drummond.

Daniel is 6'3" 250lbs.

Flowery Branch High School...AJC first team all-state...ranked #5 for his position by Scout, #3 by ESPN and #14 by Rivals... had 102 tackles from his linebacker position and averaged six yards per carry as a fullback with over 700 yards total as a junior... as a senior, rushed for 1,102 yards and 13 touchdowns... recorded 72 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and nine sacks during senior year... was a team captain in 2008... began high school career at West Hall High School... earned four varsity letters in football and two in track (shot put, discus) at West Hall HS and Flowery Branch HS combined... led Flowery Branch to a second-place finish in the AAA state playoffs... 2008 state champion in the discus and earned state championship top performer award... owns the Flowery Branch HS single-game rushing record after running for 258 yards and three touchdowns in just two quarters.

Drummond is The Times 2009 Boys Track and Field Athlete of the Year from his senior year in highschool. The future Yellow Jacket broke Flowery Branch records in the squat (600 pounds), bench press (415) and a power clean of 330. Georgia Tech’s highest when combining those three disciplines last season was defensive lineman Vance Walker at 1,310. “Daniel’s walking in the door at Georgia Tech at 1,345,” his father added.

Dwyer has already said that Drummond moved well for his size and is one of the most impressive freshman at camp. Hard to believe this NFL caliber fullback is 4th string at GT!
