Archbishop Ryan running back Samir Bullock was one of the most productive backs in the state last year, but the 2015 prospect had a few things working against him on the recruiting trail as he began the offseason.
He was a 5-foot-7, 165-pound feature back and he caught all of three passes last year out of the backfield. At his size, running out of the Power-I in college seems unlikely. He needed to do more and show he can do it in front of college coaches.
Bullock hasn't shied away from the work. And now it's paying off, including a big day on Monday. Maine, Rhode Island and Robert Morris all offered him on Monday, joining Bryant and Delaware. While these are all FCS offers, they're still Division I, and they represent Bullock's rising stock.
Bullock had 2,055 rushing yards in 11 games as a junior. He did that on 261 carries, or about 23.7 per game. That's not a terribly high workload, although he capped the season with three straight 30-plus carry games. A good season from Archbishop Ryan could mean a pretty impressive yardage total for Bullock as a senior.
Considering the burst of offers on Monday, recruiters may still be catching up to him. We'll see where the rest of his summer takes his recruiting profile.
