Freshman Runner Bears Resemblance to Michigan Football Legend, Head Coach Sherrone Moore Says originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Michigan Wolverines' rushing attack is expected to be one of the best in the nation this season, led by an offensive line that was as good as any last year when it played its best football.

Michigan football is expected to have one of the best running back groups in the entire nation, led by Alabama game star Jordan Marshall, Alabama transfer Justice Haynes, and several young players with the talent to shine.

Among them is a player that is still not well known on Michigan's campus, whom head coach Sherrone Moore compared to a Michigan football legend recently.

Moore brought in transfers John Volker (Princeton) and CJ Hester (Massachusetts) through the portal this offseason, whom he expects to push Marshall and Haynes for carries this fall according to comments at Big Ten Media Days.

Moore also cautioned Michigan fans to watch out for freshman running back Jasper Parker.

"I wouldn't out out Jasper Parker, this freshman from Louisiana, man," Moore said.

"He's built like Hassan Haskins — big, strong, physical. But he's a freshman, so we'll see what happens."

Parker is a 6-foot-1, 200 pound alumnus of Archbishop Shaw High School in Monroe, Louisiana, who is expected to run with great power and leverage during his future career with the maize and blue.

Parker, Volker, Hester and fellow freshman Donovan Johnson are all listed as three-star prospects by 247Sports.com.

Eagles coach calls out star player for being out of shape: ‘Both he and I have talked about that’

https://ift.tt/5x1sACw PHILADELPHIA — Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is still not in his best form yet. After getting ejected before the first snap in Week 1 for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott , Carter made his season debut in Philadelphia’s Week 2 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. As one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL, Carter is expected to take over games, but that didn’t happen against the Chiefs. “He had some good rushes, but he needs to round into better shape,” Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said on Tuesday. “Both he and I have talked about that. He readily admits that. I think we’ll even get more (out of him). For everything that has gone on in his world, I thought he played pretty good.” Carter amassed two tackles and three quarterback hits, while playing 80% of the snaps. He has the talent to be more productive. Last year, Carter became an unstoppable force after ...

Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane ready to take on English rivals in Champions League

https://ift.tt/SwpIz0O Bayern Munich star Harry Kane cannot wait to hit the grass at the Allianz Arena to face off with Chelsea FC in the Champions League. “We back ourselves to beat any team at the Allianz Arena. It’s up to you [journalists] and fans to decide who are the favourites. We’re feeling very good right now. If we want to beat Chelsea, we have to perform at our peak. It will be a tough and great game. Chelsea did very well at the Club World Cup and right now in the Premier League,“ said Kane (as captured by @iMiaSanMia ). When asked about the statement made by Uli Hoeneß, Kane respectfully disagreed. “A club like Bayern always expects to win every competition. I wouldn’t say we’re underdogs, even though we’re playing against the best teams in Europe. Now begins a long journey, hopefully until May. I don’t want to look too far ahead. We want to be as high as possible in the league phase table. It all starts tomorrow,” Kane said. Harkening back to last season’s Champions...
