Spring Look At The Cats -- Runningback



The curse of Darren Sproles is still evident.

5'8" - 170 lbs
5'7" - 187 lbs
5'8" - 168 lbs
5'9" - 195 lbs
Yep, that's the size of the runningbacks for K-State in 2008. The biggest of the bunch is WALK ON Keithen Valentine, who was the star of the spring game when he rushed for over 100 yards.

Junior Leon Patton is back and will try to prove himself to be the #1 back. If I had to guess, he'll be sharing the backfield with about 4 other people, including Dee Bell and Justin Woods.

Incoming JUCO transfer Daniel Thomas looks to join the runningback gang. Oh wait, he was a quarterback at Senatobia Northwest Mississippi C.C. At least he's 6'2" + 227 lbs. Now THERE'S K-State's big back!
