Blue & Gold Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I just noticed we don't have a thread specifically for Jemarulin Suggs! This guy is one of the premier RB's in northeast Ohio. I've seen him play twice this year - against Springfield and Ellet. Though I'd say he's not great at any one thing, he does everything well. He's got good-not-great speed at 4.5 40. Definitely fast enough. But he may not break any 80-yarders at the next level. He's got good-not-great size @ 5'11" 185. In college he'll likely redshirt and come in at 5'11" - 6'0" 205-210. This is my hope, because a Jemarulin Suggs at 6'0" 210 would be a monster because his greatest asset, IMHO, is his toughness. He's a workhorse back who can carry the rock 30 times a game and be as strong in the 4th Q as he was in the 1st. He's got a mean streak and doesn't shy away from contact. No, he enjoys it and generally initiates the contact. When I see him play it's usually he who is hitting the LB's & not the other way around. I think he'll get up to at least 205 because right now, he's still a little slight in the upper body, but has powerful, RB legs. His legs are thick. Over the next year his upper body is going to catch up w/ his legs & he's going to be a muscular beast. Very happy we got a RB like Suggs who's been a tear @ RB in the city since his sophomore year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted November 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Jemarulin rushed for 263 yards & 3 TD's last night at East beat previously unbeaten Marlington in the 1st round of the playoffs. Suggs rushed for over 2,000 yards during the regular season. East will play New Philadelphia next Saturday night. http://www.ohio.com/writers/michael-beaven/high-school-football-east-50-marlington-37-jemarulin-suggs-devanier-floyd-power-dragons-to-first-playoff-victory-1.725182 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueandgold Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Strong runner. I like it! I can't wait to see him and Bridges from Ellet on the Zips over the next several seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
