Remember this kid?

Post by dd10snoop28 »

Remember that 12-year old middle schooler who had those insane highlight videos back in 2007? People called him the "white Reggie Bush" and he became a youtube sensation.. Here's the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqSV1wnN ... r_embedded


Anyway, his HS career got off the a slow start but he's become a stud in his SR year. Here are his stats for Los Alamitos HS through 6 games:
73rushes, 714yards, 10TD's, 9.8ypc


Don't know his receiving stats, but from what I hear he's used in screens/slot a lot and has good hands. Not to mention he's one of the best HS Punt Returners from the highlights I've seen.


Here's a quote I got from an article a while back, "Barnes (HS Coach) told MaxPreps last month that FCS Bryant University (Rhode Island) has been the only school to contact him, though he did receive a letter from Oregon. Always looking for speed, wouldn't it be a treat to see Paul in Chip Kelly's point-a-minute offense?"

I don't know about you guys, but I think Chip should go after this guy... Interesting story..

Here are his JR year highlights (only rushed for 600yds on the year):

A little tidbit from most recent game where he rushed for 180+yds:
http://www.ocvarsity.com/sports/game-28 ... mitos.html
Paul added to an impressive highlight reel in the second quarter, taking a handoff to the left sideline, where the defense collapsed. Seemingly bottled up for a loss of yardage, Paul broke three tackles going all the way across the field for a 34-yard gain.

"I don't know how he does it," Roberts (teammate) said. "But I expect him to do it twice a game."

Watching the highlights these teams look like my highschool team that went 10-1 and to the state playoffs...and no one from the team went on to play D-1 football....they look small and not great competition...that being said the kid breaks ankles...maybe he could play at the D-1 level, but putting him in the reggie bush category...Not so fast my friend...

He still looks good, his speed looks decent, doesn't get taken down by arm tackles and I love that he runs North and South. Now do we want him on our team, IDK, but I would take him as a fall back.

How big is he and can he play defense, would be the real question to make our if RB doesn't work out for him.

"Cody Paul is now the starting tailback/return specialist at Los Alamitos High in Orange County, California. As a junior Paul only got rushing totals of 676 rushing yards and six touchdowns in a college football recruit's move pivotal year. Add that with his still pint-sized appearance, 5 foot 5 and 159 pounds, and Paul may just become the college-version of what Noel Devine, who went undrafted in the 2011 NFL Draft, became as a NFL player, unwanted.

"The only school that's actually contacted me was [Division I-AA] Bryant University," Paul revealed Max Preps. "I got some other letters, one from Oregon, but Bryant is the only school I've talked to.""

Is he worth a scholly? No.

Is it worth the coaching staff's time to mail the kid and show some interest to see if he would walk-on here? Certainly.

I don't think anyone is saying this kid becomes the next Danny Woodhead, but if he were to walk-on and develop, his diminutive stature helps him against players that would be a foot taller than him on the field. Take Darren Sproles, both at KSU and the nfl - you can't find him behind his OL because he is so small.

Recruiting is a funny thing. Heck, who would have thought that Levi Horne would have made it all the way to the chicago bears. (bonus points if you don't have to look him up)

Surprising that Horne ever got a scholarship to Oregon. He seemed like he belonged in a low-level FBS or high-level FCS team, which he did go to in Montana.
