Interesting. I worked out with Terry Kirby, and he not only looked physical, he played it. That was one reason he was rated the #1 player in high school as a senior by the ratings services, and he went on to have a stellar career at the University of Virginia. I have not seen any film of Kalen Ballage having or displaying anywhere close to that kind of physicality, but I am excited to hear you make the comparison to Terry Kirby. If we get a player who even remotely produces close to Kirby, I will be thrilled.When you think of Ballage think of Terry Kirby. He has potential to be a good goal line back too - punch it in. And remember at ASU there was so much coaching and scheme turn over that he may really blossom under the right coaching. He seems to lack vision which likely is not coachable so he is more of change up runner. But with him you can split him out and create so many match up problems because of speed.
I will say this as well, Kalen Ballage is faster than Terry Kirby, and if we are able to get our guards and Durham Smythe to open lanes on the perimeter, he could break some long runs. If nothing else, I'm excited to see how he does in the RB screen game, which seems to be coming back with the drafting of two TE's.
