TORRENCE VERY IMPRESSIVE
It was obvious that one of the problems Massillon head coach Tom Stacy will have this season is too much talent and not enough positions. The Tigers rotated two tailbacks, two fullbacks, two quarterbacks and about five receivers with the first team offense in the win over Middletown.
DeVoe Torrence and K.J. Herring alternated at tailback. They are similar runners with slightly different styles.
"K.J. is more of a slasher and DeVoe is a bigger version of (2006 running back) Brian Gamble," Stacy said.
It will be difficult to prepare to play Massillon. Stacy is running plays into the huddle with QBs Chris Willoughby and Mike Clark. Willoughby is more of a passer, and Clark is a runner. Massillon can lull a defense to sleep with sweeps to the backs, then fake the sweep and run Clark on a naked bootleg before a defense remembers he is in the game.
Torrence was impressive in his Division I debut. He looked just as strong running against Middletown as he did against NBC teams last year at Canton South. Incidentally, Torrence was ranked as the No. 37 best prospect in the country by The Sporting News. The magazine ranked the top 101 high school players.

Torrence shines in his Tiger debut
By CHRIS EASTERLING

From the moment he enrolled at Washington High School last March, DeVoe Torrence had had his eyes on last Friday night.
Arriving from Canton South, Torrence came in with the fanfare one would expect surrounding a player who already owns a scholarship offer from Ohio State. Still, when he walked onto the Paul Brown Tiger Stadium turf for the first time before the Tigers? season-opening 42-21 win over Middletown, the senior felt there was something missing.
?I?ve been amped since day one,? Torrence said after Friday?s game. ?I had to try to prove myself.?
Torrence should be able to consider himself a proven commodity now, thanks to his impressive debut against the Middies. His first game as a Tiger ended with him gaining a game-high 157 yards on 20 carries, two touchdowns scored, and another 49 yards on three receptions.
And none of that takes into account a nifty 40-yard touchdown catch he had in the first quarter which was brought back due to a holding call on Massillon.

Had the opportunity to see DeVoe play last Friday and snapped a few pics with my trusty camera phone. I won't bore anyone with an amatuerish scouting report. We all know he's a stud.
jwins, eat your heart out!!!

 Was your phone in landscape mode, or were you looking through a white blast shield?
