I was pleasantly surprised by Platt's improvement this past year. He looked overmatched as a freshman, but in 2019 showed some elusiveness.

Mat, on a related subject: With the PAC-12 season "postponed," what are the chances Constantine comes back here if we have spring football? His chances of playing are far greater than at Wash. State.

I agree Adrian showed that he can be a elite back plus he needs to get the ball to show them that he can play. Plus play calling is very important to a running backs success. Also who do we have at quarter back now?

I don't know if he has the physical tools to be a Shane, a Darius Victor and certainly not a Terrance West. It's about making people miss on the first contact and in space, especially if you are not a big back. He's strong for his size, but he's not going to drag a lot of 275 pound DTs if they get their hands on him. I love the potential of our offensive line. They are gigantic and should be able to open some holes up front. But if you watched him last season when Shane went down, Yeedee Thaenrat became the prime back late in the year. He was a short-yardage back to start the season. And he wasn't really a home run hitter. But Yeedee was 220 pounds and that helps if you don't have electric speed and quickness like Shane.

Those three I mentioned are likely eventual Hall of Famers at Towson. Not saying we need that but each guy was either very powerful or had top-flight speed and quicks. Kobe has some of those characteristics, but I thought he'd be close to 220 pounds by now at 6-0. Last I heard he was around 210, but not sure what he is now.

So I'm not saying AP has no chance to start. Shane is not here, so you do have competition. They all have something to prove, but if you are looking for the next T-West or close to him, Folley could be that guy.

 

Ok got it what does Adrian bring to the table u think ? Also do u think he would excel if he earned that starting spot or we would need to see what he can do if In that role?

Yeah hopefully it works it way out what would happen if they don’t have enough to satisfy all scholarships?

Nice to meet you Mat what do you think Adrian would need to work on to show Towson that he can be that Elite back? Also Kobe Young showed a lot of promise when he played the year before. I would love to see Maryland added back to the schedule in the Spring if we have a Spring season. Also I agree Adrian played really well last year he got better and better every game I kinda wish they kept him in more the last game against Elon.

Anyone here know if Adrian Feliz Platt will get the starting job if there’s a spring season next year? I have been eyeing him up through out his career and now that Shane is gone will he have a shot at a starting gig. I know he exploded his last two years in high school and broke a couple of Maryland high school records wondering if he will do the same his last two years at Towson.
