Running back’s coach Lance Taylor has been all over the country this weekend, starting Friday along with Tommy Rees visiting ’21 5-Star Will Shipley, made a call out to Texas and offered yet another star running back in Emeka Megwa. The class of 2022 star stands six-feet tall and weighs 200 pounds, gigantic for a player so young, preps at the same high school as current freshman DE NaNa Osafo-Mensah and tagged him when Megwa announced his offer via Twitter.

Megwa absolutely dominated competition this past year, earning District MVP, 1st team All-Star and All-District, rushing for over 1,600 yards and scoring 25 touchdowns against Texas high school competition. For a sophomore those are extremely impressive numbers, ones that have clearly caught the eyes of many schools, holding offers from Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma and more at this early stage of his recruitment.

You can never get enough talent at running back, having multiple backs that can do different things is an excellent way to diversify your offense and luring safeties into the box which enables more deep shots to wide receivers. With a reported forty time of 4.4, Megwa is a burner and would look great in Blue and Gold.
