Duncanville’s RB Melachi Medlock 6-2, 215

[Cooley]

This kid has been committed to Toledo for sometime now. I would think that he would be a great flip for the Mean Green. Don’t understand why other program aren’t beating his door down. He would give Oscar Addaway a run for his money as a true freshman. Transferred in to Duncanville last year from Odessa Permian and Carries the ball 30 times a game. Opponents can’t stop this kid. Man, I’d hate to lose a very good back to a lesser program out of the area. In fact, we need to hit Duncanville, move often along with DeSoto, Cedar Hill and SOC. Do we even try?

Agree about Medlock.  Regarding how heavily we hit Duncanville, Desoto, Cedar Hill and SOC, we have a commitment from SOC's RB.  I would like to see us talk to the QB from SOC as well as Medlock.

I'm betting that since we have a commitment from Farrar that we're likely not taking another RB... in this class especially.

[Cooley]

Farrar is more a utility player. (Not a speedster or power back) Currently alternates in the backfield. Not the 18-20 carry back needed. Melachi is an upgrade over these other guys on the roster.

Even Oscar?

[UNTLifer]

I am still fascinated, not sure if that is the correct term or not, with the SOC QB.  His is committed to Missouri St, but man I think we should give him a look.

I’m curious how are we not all over this kid, but I’m also curious how nobody else is either. 
 

There has got to be some off the field stuff. He’s the starting running back for a top 5 team in the state.

Maybe he has family up in Toledo or surrounding area and isnt wavering unless Ohio State calls him 🤷‍♂️

I don't know about the relative merits of the two but I would call Farrar a speedster.  He's on the track team and ran an 11.25 100M as a sophomore.

[Cooley]

Saw him break loose up the middle and was 10 yards in front of everybody.  A DB caught him over the next 20 yards. (No angle). Kid is quick but not what I define as a speedster. Wish I could run a 11.25 but that doesn’t win many events in and around Dallas.

Very happy we will sign the kid. Speaking of which, watch out for a Red Oak 8th grader who beats everybody by 10-15 yards in the 200 and at least 5 yards in the 100. At this pace, this kid may run in the Olympics. I think his name is Braylon.

We need to jump all over this kid.  I watched him in the state title game yesterday against a very talented North Shore defense.  He more than held his own.  
 

Plus, I don’t want to see yet another Dallas area kid end up at that school in University Park

Like Farrar, Medlock is one of the Top 30 RBs in the state .  

"Medlock is a power back who grinds on a defense.  He is a battering ram, but also has a quick burst to explode through the hole with the power to break tackles.  He makes getting the tough yards look easy, and he gets better later in games.:  DCTxFB Rising Recruiting Guide

I don't know about his grades or his speed, but he sounds like the Mean Green running game to me.

I'm thinking that I sure would like to see this young man in our backfield.

 

[GrayEagle]

Blame 247 Sports.  Farrar is rated .8450; Medlock is rated .8235.

Commits to Abilene Christian.  Based on our history, he could be here in a year or two.
