always like it when an OOS kid gives such a positive report about Ohio State to a non- OSU/Ohio recruiting reporter.

South Florida loaded with RB talent
BY LARRY BLUSTEIN
Special to The Miami Herald
As the combine season comes to an end, giving way to spring football and then to the very popular summer camps and 7-on-7 leagues/tournaments, many new stars have popped up since the end of the 2007 season.
One of the players who has made the most of the recent combine season is Palmetto running back Jaamal Berry. When the 2007 season finished, Berry (5-11, 185) was considered a top-flight talent who was just coming into his own on the football field.
Having watched him several times this past year, Berry is a tremendous prospect, who made the most of a very aggressive combine season that saw him clock a 4.41 (40) and excel in a 7-on-7 tournament at the University of South Florida.
His running style is explosive; he is quick to hit the holes and knows how to find daylight. There is a reason why schools such as Clemson, West Virginia, Florida, South Carolina, FSU, Ohio St., LSU, Michigan, Mississippi and Minnesota will continue to follow his every move.
If Berry is to become the No. 1 running back prospect in the state, he will have to first prove that he is the top back in his own county.

Is there a rule about complaining about rules?

ESPN
ESPN doesn't believe Jamaal Berry and his 'supposed top 3'!
They suggest FSU (check), Clemson (check), LSU, Florida, and Auburn.
ESPN - Jamaal Berry
Who knows, maybe next they broadcast the Florida spring game... |

To say the least, the Bank's interview does not hurt my confidence with Jaamal... |

This kids running style reminds me of a smaller Fred Taylor.

Another highlight video:
He is really impressive. Crazy how quick he can jump sideways and then accelerate past somebody. Plus, he looks to enjoy lowering his shoulder and trying to run guys over. Running style and build actually kind of reminds me of Kenny Irons (former Auburn RB and 2nd round draft pick of the Bengals in 2007). |

Impressive to say the least. Great power/speed/quickness combo. Looks like he can catch the ball out of the backfield as well. Irons is a pretty good comparison, although Berry looks to be shiftier. Would like to see a little more patience, but that will be something he can work on here.
