Michael Cox Commits to RU Football

- Start date
How does an all-state RB from Georgia end up as a PWO here. Gotta be some story. Anyway, congrats to the young man and hope he keeps it going here!
Welcome to the Banks , May you have wonderful and injury free career at RU.
Looks like he has 3 offers: Brown, Dartmouth, Penn. Can clearly make the grade and must have wanted to play FBS football instead.
Boom!! And welcome! Sub 5' 7"? Watch the videos..if that's his height, he must play his games against the league of the midgets. He looks as big or bigger than most on the field. Twitter account lists him as 6' 0". 247 lists him as 6' 0". Between 212 and 220 lbs. Power, downhill runner with some speed! I like his tape.
Reminds me of the rb from Canada (Jerome Messam?) that never made it to RU because of grades. Wonder if it was the same issue and then just got qualified. Greg always keeps a scholarship or two handy in case some real talent pops up before start of new season. The comp in huddle vids looks a bit weak. Wonder if he plays for school in low level size schools.
Hopefully admins will dig up some more info.

In one of the posted pictures he looks like a 4 -5 year old little white boy....tiny and tentative.~:Sly:
But in the HUDL he showed what he's made of....glad he chose RU.

That offense is known as "just give Michael Cox the damn ball."
Cox wrestled at 220 last year. He's not small , but probably not more than 6ft tall.
PS- Sean Gleeson does not utilize a fullback in his offense, not even on the goal line, so they will find another position for him. RB?, H back , LB ?

Gotta have some team first guys that play specials, are good in the locker room, work their butt off in practice, and do the right thing in the classroom and off the field. Based on who was recruiting Cox, I think we’re getting a great kid to fit into our culture rebuild.
Ok. Sounds like comp level was low and that academics were priority over playing at a HS football factory.

Now he gets to get a degree from one of the Top 50 universities in the world and play in the best academic-athletic conference ! :Rutgers
I was thinking the same, he looks taller than most of the other players
Interesting film. He is not a burner, but I like the way he runs. He is going to have big adjustments at the college level though to make his style fit.
The competition he is playing does not look great.
He also plays in an old school offense that does not really showcase his potential talent.
He is a strong kid and he runs hard. Welcome to the banks.

I think this was the dude that one of the moderators thought was the steal of the century for us...
Clearly, grades were not a problem with the three offers from academic schools.
My guess is that he was playing in a conference that is just not that competitive and was overlooked. Sure doesn't mean he can't play well at a higher level. Remains to be seen.
As for "All State", at what level and which team? Would he be like a kid from Jersey in Group 1, second team?

Based on the video seems taller than 5’7” and may be closer to 6’0”. In any event looks like a playa and nice add!
I don't see anything to indicate he's a D1 caliber wrestler, not ranked anywhere, didn't participate in any national tournaments. It appears he finished 4th at the Georgia state championships at 220 for the smallest school classification (Georgia has 7 different divisions depending on school size. that's a lot of watering down ! lol). Georgia is NOT a strong state for high school wrestling. He's definitely NOT a Kyonte Hamilton type caliber wrestler or football player for that matter. Good tape though for football.
