"I am hoping to play as a freshman and the coaches don't have a problem with that," he said. "They are looking at me as an H-Back. I like that. I think it fits my skills pretty good."

I like this kid with his frame and athletic ability there are a lot of different things he could do a lot of positions he could end up at.  He was a very productive high school player for a very good team by far the best team in Missouri last year.  All of his measurements come from a high school combine so his size and speed is legit.  I'm surprised more teams have  not tried to come in on him.  I'd much rather take an athlete with a frame like his over some 5'9" 170 RB/DB type.

Put him at tight end, not running back.  Not trying to say that I know more than Prince, but I really don't want us to have a 6'4'' white running back.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H_back

Quote
An H-Back, also known as F-Back is an offensive position in American football that is a hybrid between a fullback and a tight end. One team that prominently utilizes the H-back position is the Washington Redskins under head coach Joe Gibbs, who is one of the first coaches to use the positions. Gibbs is credited for revolutionizing the position. The F-Back name is used in Norv Turner's offensive system.

Unlike the tight end, which Gibbs uses almost exclusively as an extra blocker on the offensive line, the H-back is asked to block, pass protect, and run receiving routes from multiple sets. The H-back can line up in the backfield, on the line, or is put into motion. On one play, he may be asked to serve as lead blocker for the tailback. The next, he may be sprinting 15 yards downfield to catch a pass. Due to the complexity of the position, a thorough knowledge of the offense is desirable in an H-back.
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

he might be a good H-Back, i too fell for what stunner fell for, but I still don't like the fact that the coaches are telling players they'll play in freshman year

Our coaches telling kids they could play in their freshman year is no different then Mark Mangino telling a kid to get in shape.
