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.
