FVSports - The Elite100: Class of 2010

4. Michael Dyer
5'9" / 205 pounds / Running Back / Little Rock Christian High School / Little Rock, Arkansas
Contenders: Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss, Oklahoma
Scouting Report: Named EA Sports National Sophomore of the Year last season, and is currently on pace to eclipse 9,000 rushing yards in his prep career. Has been hand-timed in the sub 4.4 range. Dyer's greatest gift is his vision and ability to create lanes between the tackles when there aren't any. Compact frame allows him to hide behind blockers and get good leverage on first contact, which leads his ridiculous ability to break tackles. Unlike the vast majority of HS tailbacks faster than their peers, Dyer doesn't bounce everything to the outside. Should really benefit him as he transitions into college, and outside of blocking, will have a very short learning curve. Could easily be argued that Dyer is the top tailback in this class, I just value Seastrunk's ability to do more with fewer carries. Dyer will need to dominate the carries to get his maximum value. Has a lot of Curtis Martin in him.
