I'm not familiar enough to know
Unfortunately I don't think the small school he is attending has done a very good job of promoting him or helping him understand how to maximize his recruiting process. So part of that is there isn't some of that information listed out there for him. What is known can be found on links below.

What I saw tonight was a bit different than his main highlight video on Hudl. Tonight they ran a 1 back set all night out of a spread. He had some receptions, picked up some great blocks when he wasn't sent into a pattern, and followed his blockers at the right times and had all the burst he'd need when hitting the whole or cutting up field on a sweep.

A lot of time he seemed to be plotting his course to let his team do their thing while he followed them and then exploded at the right times. When he accelerated it was deceptive and the angles that looked good for the defender rarely worked out well for them. On defense he was great in coverage with 3-4 pass break ups and laid the wood on run defense and jarred a receiver pretty good arriving at the perfect moment to prevent a reception.

It seemed like I only saw him at his full speed 2 or 3 times all night one was late in the game as he trotted through the initial hole stepped to his left and burst so quickly that everyone grasped at air as he went in from about 25 yards out and the booth appropriately dropped a MC Hammer clip "Can't touch this"...they seem to have a lot of fun in Mr Robinson's neighborhood these last couple years...

His team mates seem to love him and it certainly does not appear to be all about him. He seemed to enjoy being the lead blocker for wide receiver sweeps and QB draws and always was celebrating his team mates plays but never did anything to draw attention to himself other than when the officials stopped the game after he broke the record and he went to the end zone where his mom and family were and gave her the game ball as other family members released 25 balloons (his #) into the air. When that was done he went back with no other personal fan fair and hugged his team in the huddle...no raising his arms in celebration...no pointing a finger in the air...nothing. He seemed very humble.
