18 year old sophomore (yes I said sophomore) Richard Samuel will be the starting tailback when UGA visits Stillwater. Samuel wears #22 and was a 5-star RB coming out of high school despite being a year younger than most of the kids in his class.
He is a 6'1 220lb bulldozer for all intents and purposes. He has good speed, but he wants to run to downhill and straight at the defense.
Richard has had fumble problems and that's definitely something to keep an eye on. He's only fumbled once during practice this fall, but it was a big hold up for him last year in trying to become the guy to spell Knowshon Moreno.
Caleb King, another 5-star was considered the starter headed into practice but he has been slowed by a hamstring injury. Look for Samuel to be backed up by #30 Carlton Thomas. Thomas is a jitterbug at just 5'7, and he will probably be the change of pace.
