Ranking the Carolinas' prospects: Running backs

Posted May 12, 2009
2. MUSTAFA GREENE, Irmo (S.C.): Greene, like Lattimore, can be a feature back at the highest collegiate level. He’s 6-1 and 195 pounds, and rushed for over 1,300 yards despite losing a third of his junior season to injury. Among the schools he’s interested in are Duke, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame, and Tennessee.

4. JOSHUA SNEAD, Smithfield Selma: Speedy but not big at 5-9 and 170 pounds, Snead would make a fine Reggie Bush-style RB because of his ability to catch the ball and operate in space. He’s being recruited by Duke, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, N.C. State, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest, among others. (Charlotte Observer)
