Top 2010 running backs with TCU interests
Posted on October 2, 2008
Arguably two of the top running backs for 2010 in the state and probably in the country have a legitimate interest in the TCU Horned Frogs. Lache Seastrunk of Temple and Traylon Shead of Cayuga definitely have an eye on the Frogs and the Frogs have an eye on them. They lead a strong group of running backs that have an interest in TCU.
Lache Seastrunk has been tabbed an internet sensation and those who have seen his videos know why. This kid is not just a phenominal athlete but a person who has overcome the hardship of being abandoned by his parents. His brother is a baseball player at Rice and they have been raised by their grandmother and uncle. Seastrunk runs a 10.68 100 and has a 40″ vertical and that athleticism carries over well to the football field. As a sophmore he had over 1,500 yards rushing averaging almost 12 yards per carry. This year in Temple’s loss to Plano he had 14 carries for 145 yards and an 84 yard touchdown run. Lache looks to be a lock for LSU or UT, but in a recent Texas Preps article (9/2008) Seastrunk volunteered that TCU was one of the few schools that he is closely watching.
Traylon Shead is often described as the next Adrian Peterson, he’s another East Texas running back with size and speed. At 6-2/205 and with 4.5 speed, Traylon has the attributes coaches crave. As a sophmore he rushed for over 2,800 yards and has set his sights on reaching the 3,000 yard marker in 2008. His dad is his high school principal and his twin brother is a defensive lineman at Cayuga. Traylon has TCU listed as one of his top schools, though seems to be mostly drawn to TAMU.
Other top running backs in the class of 2010 include Flower Mound Marcus’ Stephen Hopkins and Klein Collins’ JaMichael Rozier. Hopkins so far this year has 664 yards rushing on 122 carries and 8 TDs. Rozier is the son of the former Nebraska great Michael Rozier and the speedster helped Klein Collins to jump to a 2-0 start before Ike interrupted the season.
Lache Seastrunk 5-10/184/4.4 Temple, TX The next “Tornado”, Lache (pronounced Lake) is one of the highest recruited RBs in the country. Tremendous speed and power. Watch his highlight reel and you will understand the excitement about this young man:
