What They're Saying - RB Coach Benedick Hyppolite
“I’m very excited about bringing him into the group. He’s a big back, bruiser, downhill style. A natural running back who embraces the position. He gives you both versions of a good running back, one that can pull away from defenders, but also run downhill and physical with his size at 5-11, 200 lbs. He loves the game and anytime he has an opportunity to be around the game, he’s there. He’s a leader as well and understands how to get his teammates to also play their best ball. Justin is a guy with the body to make an immediate impact straight from high school both on special teams and in the backfield.”
