AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Durability
 Toughness
A big, strong ball-carrier who also can run with a finesse style, Bush offers great potential for the next level. Durability issues and weight problems will push him further into the draft than most expect. Has the tools to be a productive starting back but only if he stays healthy and dedicates himself to year round conditioning.


Biography:

Rotated into the starting line-up as a freshman and sophomore, then became the team’s feature runner in ‘05. Played one-half of football last season before breaking his leg. Had a rod inserted into his tibia during the surgical procedure to repair his injury. Totaled 17/128/3 on the ground. Posted career-rushing marks of 205/1,143/23 as a junior.

Pos:

Big, powerful ball carrier with terrific football instincts. Patient, waits for blocks to develop and makes defenders miss in a small area. Slides through the open creases of the offensive line, has a slashing style and is tough to bring down. Powerful, puts his shoulders into defenders and carries the pile for extra yardage. Picks up blocking assignments and displays awareness in pass protection. Possesses soft hands as a pass catcher.

Neg:

Runs with an upright style and is prone to taking a lot of hard hits. Suffered with minor nicks and bruises during his sophomore and junior campaigns. Does not take his conditioning seriously, and tires over the course of the game.
