At close to 210 pounds at the end of his sophomore season, college teams looked at Shai McKenzie (Washington, Pa./Washington) as a linebacker, maybe a fullback.
The problem is McKenzie sees himself as a running back, but he knew if he wanted to continue his career at the position he needed to get faster. So this past spring, McKenzie joined the track team, and now he said teams are looking at him as a running back once again.
The 5-foot-11, 210-pound McKenzie said he cut his 40 time into the 4.4s, and this summer he added offers from Pittsburgh, Toledo and Youngstown State.
