Tauren Poole
RB | 5'10" 195
Hometown: Toccoa, GA
School: StephensCountyHigh School
ESPN 150
Evaluation: Poole is a tightly wound ball of nylon. He is a compact blend of power, agility and strength. He is a jump-cut runner with great vision and cutback ability. He runs with terrific leverage, body lean and power for his size. Pad level is outstanding. He does not go down easily. He will break many tackles with leg drive and initial power. His agility and balance is phenomenal. Rarely goes down with the first attempt to tackle him and is slippery in tight spaces. Has a knack for making people miss in the hole and behind the line of scrimmage. Pound for pound, he is one of the toughest runners in this class. Poole contributes in the passing game on swing routes, screens and check downs. He routinely bounces runs to the outside, is shifty enough to make the first defender miss and is capable of breaking some big runs. Poole has competitive speed, not the best speed. He can be a short strider, which gives him the appearance of being a little stiff in the hips. He is quick and elusive but not overly explosive. He is slick and tough but not a jolt of lightning. The bottom line is that Poole is a load. He may be a little short, but is put together, is extremely difficult to tackle and will wear you down. Tauren is a great prospect and has been compared to Cadillac Williams, former Auburn runningback and current NFLer.
But Mustang, Tauren has already committed to Tennessee. Well, I know that, but I am writing about him anyway. Call it a hunch...Well, maybe it’s just wishful thinking. We’ll have to wait and see.
