Eddie Lacy

[Commandoj251]

SPIN MOVE!

[saintdeuce]

He's not Trent, but he's better than Ingram...dare I say. And you gotta love the spin move.

[KeepItGRated10]

He's such a big and strong back but he spins like he thinks he's Barry Sanders.

[ilovemountaindew09]

he was using the spin move on every run back then too. gotta love it roll tide

[rxpjkt]

@LSU014 Thank God we did. I'd hate to know Bama had to play against him. And I don't mean any disrespect to Spencer Ware.

[payton6600]

is this Varsity or JV or what? idk what this is lol

[geauxz]

@payton6600 I do LOL

[payton6600]

@geauxz i do what? im guessing thats varsity, cause i read that post about him going to alabama.. sorry im a bit slow haha

[rxpjkt]

@payton6600 Seroiusly? Do these look like JV kids? Compare the size of the players to the referees. Do you think they might be using JV kids as referees? You haven't seen the ball since kickoff, have you?

[payton6600]

@rxpjkt it just looks like our JV team, I wasn't trying to criticize anyone

[rxpjkt]

@payton6600 You have some big kids on your JV team.

[payton6600]

@rxpjkt yes we do haha.

[xbox3shity]

MAN EDDIE BEEN DOING THIS SENSE ELEMENTRY THROW UP TACKLE WE DONT CALL HIM THE HUMAN O BUTTON FOR NUN THAT SPIN MOVE DEADLY

[MrDownwitthesouth]

He doesn't run like this at bama he seems a lot stiffer and more of a power back now.

[niteriderni]

our team was soo sorry at least i chopped em at 7:55, and got good runs in

[13NationalChamps]

Eddie Lacy is the Chuck Norris of running backs!!!

[nicksabanbama1]

he is our 3rd string running back wow we are stacked

[bamafan73191]

what happened to the cowboy song that origianally accompanied this vid??

[geauxz]

@bamafan73191

I decided to change the music to something more local. The original Cowboy version is on google at

video.google.com/videoplay?doc­id=2454273343640124329

[SECISBEAST]

he doesnt even look like hes trying on most plays... he should be great

[coltboyd]

Ingram jr.

[SuperMAXALLEN]

this is my hometown hero go griffs also check out kelvin york highlights geaux griffs!!

[ctibbs32]

he hasnt started yet because there is a heisman winner and the next heisman winner in front of him but he will get his chance ......and watch out sec this man is a badass

[aubiesucks12]

looked great at a day, he's gonna be a beast

[famous927]

rtr baby....rtr

[tidefan28]

I just had to come back and watch this again. It's been more than a year since I last saw it. This is the best highlight video I had seen then and it's still the best today. From overall production, music, and of course Eddie himself.

This guy's turn will come at 'Bama.. it might be next year when he gets his chance for some serious carries. But when he does..watch out. This guy is an amazing football player.

[KingRains6]

i just heard from my uncle that talked to burton burns, the alabama running back coach, and burns told him that not only is lacy amazing but in his opinion he is better than ingram and richardson and should win at least one heisman. thats amazing coming from his position coach

[22dab95]

Jalston Fowler is actually playing LB right now in spring training. Bama's coaching staff said he looked good at LB. This will probably be the depth chart: Ingram; Richardson; Goode; Lacy.

Corey Grant will probably be red-shirted.

[Supreme290]

He is really good I hope this dude works hard this off-season to get more playing time but if he keeps doing that spin he is going to get blasted in the sec that worked in high school but not now. Roll Tide

[geauxz]

And Peyton Manning will never make it in the NFL because he has "happy feet"...

[MrBlueCrimson]

@geauxz , proofs in the pudding. He is yet to play at Bama...........

[geauxz]

@MrBlueCrimson, along with everyone else that redshirted last year :-)

[MrBlueCrimson]

@geauxz , lol oh good point. It seems like Lacy is a grown-ass man everytime i look at him. Looks like Bama will have a stud right behind Richardson then (especially for when Ingram leaves)

[silverblade43]

@Supreme290 look at montario hardesty. he did a spin nearly every play and it kept him from getting blasted. just depends how he learns touse it

[crimsonblood1992]

3:31 yac

[geauxz]

more YAC 6:16

[KietDaViet]

but he sure is good he needs to go to a diff school to show that stuff off instead of being a 3 or 4 stringer

[Bamaboyy92]

he redshirted his freshmen year. Hes got 4 more years of eligibility

[KietDaViet]

This dude is not going to start until he is prolly a senior and thats a might because you never know about upcoming talent. The only way is he going to start before being a senior is if Trent gets hurt i that not likely.

[greedy7111]

bgddybama21 don't get size 52 panties in a bunch I was thinking of Goode.

[greedy7111]

yea my bad I was thinking demetrius Goode. My bad yall.

[Fistofreak]

goodbye Upchurch, it was nice knowing you. Hello Eddie Lacy, it will be nice to get to know you. And see you go along with Ingram and Trent. Then with Corey Grant and Jalston Fowler. RTR

[bamabird]

Lacy didnt play a snap all last season. Youre dead wrong. If so, please show everyone some stats. Man, I cant believe we have that type of talent on the beanch WAITING for his chance. Eat your hearts out barners.

[OtisIsdrunk]

Eddie Lacy took NO snaps in 2009. Otherwise he would not have been allowed to take a redshirt. Only players who are injured early in a season can play and also be credited with a redshirt. You are thinking of Goode.

[tWoodsFan00001]

he didnt take any snaps..he could of but he never did..your probably thinking of Goode

[greedy7111]

no. . You can still take staps as a RS freshman. . Check the records. .He definately took some snaps.

[bamafan73191]

@greedy7111 dude his no. is 42, look back at all the games and see if you see42 on the field, I'm tellin ya he didnt play.

[dorpus]

@bamafan73191 why was this guy not a 5* thats ridiculous

[bamafan73191]

@dorpus 2 reasons: academic problems and an injury that kept him out of most of his senior season, These are his junoir highlights i believe.

[geauxz]

@bamafan73191

These are junior highlights...

10th grade highlights of Eddie and Kelvin are on Google as well, and before you ask, I think Kelvin has found a team to play on now. He is an absolutely freaking amazing kid, and not just because you find yourself in total disbelief after watching this... FYI...both were in 10th grade

video.google.com/videoplay?doc­id=6688770287500068313

Added bonus (fun to watch), Desmond's are at:

video.google.com/videoplay?doc­id=-6370618121863500796

[greedy7111]

Yea he played in one or two games this year. Looked pretty good. . He'll see more playing time in the future if the new kid Corey Grant doesn't show him up.

[RebelYank]

No...he didn't play at all. He was redshirted.

[bgddybama21]

dude you don't know anything... he didn't touch the field this year... roll tide

[Stewbydobedo]

Can,t wiat to see him on the field. Bama has the best backfield in the country, hands down!!!!!

[Tharp94895]

Eddie played in 5A division, which has 2 teams in the top 50 in the nation. Also in divison 6 which has the the 2 time defending state champs(the maroon team)

[bamafan73191]

what division of high school did he play? I'm guessing by the awful tackling by the defense it wasnt very good, but regardless, still a beast.

[TheBamaBino]

Glad he chose Alabama.He woulda been the man this year at LSU after Scott and Williams got hurt.

[bdickerson81]

k thx for setting me straight guys cant wait to see him play in 2010 RTR!!!

[the9thwardboy]

man when u see this dude run in person, its like u playin madden wit him or somethin. right when somebody finna get him, he presses the O button and does a spin move. he tells me that he actually says the controls that he does on madden when he in a real game

[nathanp8790]

running back coaches says hes way better than ingram was his freshman year.

[bdickerson81]

will make a great short down back...i wonder if he has the speed to be a starter though. maybe the coaches are working on that this year.

[griss010]

Dude, Ingram said it himself Eddie is bigger and faster than him and richardson! Our heisman is athletically the 3rd best back on the team

[bamafan73191]

@griss010 Yeah, its insane. I feel kinda bad for upchurch and grant though. They look like awful RB's compared to these guys when in actuality, they could easily start on other teams. I hope they get drafted, but it probably wont happen.

[kostarae]

Wonder??....the kid runs a 4.4

[Willi3247]

heard hes a beast on the scout team this year

[snapperco]

Roll Tide ! nice tunes changeup over the usual rap/hip hop stuff.....

[ZbamaG15]

he kills the spin move! RTR

[jrooks05]

My god what a beast !!!! Ingram, Richardson and Lacy next year for Bama? I feel sorry for the rest of the SEC !!! lol , Roll Tide !!!!

[MrTidefan1986]

dont forget Jalston Fowler, and Corey Grant... oh yeah and Terry Grant will be back...

[LSUkid225]

that was me #44 they didnt show me getting hurt..... go dutchtown

[estevan40]

Let me remind that Trent Richardson played HS football in Florida But this guy is just as good but slower than Trent.

[ranman7661]

eddie will be a red shirt this year watch out for the running attack for 2010 with mark, trent, and eddie WOW!!!!! what a year it will be

[loditbo]

How come eddies doesn't start yet??

when will he start

[geauxz]

Someone told me he was battling shin splints, unconfirmed and they may have the story mixed up with anoither player, but I think he is redshirting...

[ikickedu]

im sure he is red shirted.

[MrTidefan1986]

the one with shin splints is Kenny Bell, hes a wide reciever.

[bamafan73191]

we have so much talent with richardson and ingram, it was probably a good thing he redshirted to save his eligibility.

[Jokerdog2812]

@loditbo he will get a small amt of the carries this yr as the 3rd back

[wagz03182009]

it wont be the same watching dutchtown tonight...i graduated with eddie and dtown has to go back to the wing t because eddie and kelvin graduated hahaha

he used to have the whole city there at the football games watching him

[optimusaardvark]

damn thanks for all the crap you did for us. good luck at bama

[crimsonblood1992]

I'm not making any predictions because I'm not entirely sure. But I think this guy looks better than trent richardson.

[GrooveDoctor77]

i really like how Saban gets all these fine recruits to come to Bama, last season Saban demolished its hated rivals and both Aub and Tenn , and that led to both long term coaches to get the boot

[Saban1983]

This kid has swagger. That last play, where he hi-five's his teammate was awesome! Roll Tide, Eddie!! Good luck in 2009!

[ikickedu]

man he ain going to get 1 play.

[GrooveDoctor77]

This kid is really good ,everybody is expecting Trent Richardson to be the man , but Eddie looks to be a lot harder to tackle ,he breaks 4or 5 tackles on nearly every play

[kilthemal]

i realize this is a highlight video, but wow...

[geauxz]

Linked a recent article in the description on the right...a good read :-)

[BAMACHICKMAGNET]

Roll Tide!!! should practice today. way to make the grade Eddie! congrats

[vbouyton34]

Cleared to play!Rolll Tide!!!!!!!

[blackwaterpark1]

WOW! I'm an Auburn fan and I got to admit, this kid is SICK! He's going to be a good one for you Bama.

[ckinzalow]

this kid is a beast.

the amount of talent on this alabama team is downright scary.

[tidefan28]

1st time I've seen this and: WOW, OMG, and rediculous! Congrats Lacy for making the grades! Now go out there and get yourself some PT baby!

[King8Ball]

Glad to hear that Lacy has qualified.

It's going to be great watching the Lacy and Richardson combo dominate for the next few years.

[AndrewsaysRTR]

Lacy recieved an A in his qualifying class, he'll be on campus in the fall if the Clearinghouse accepts it (which they will). We are gonna have a sick backfield this fall!

[hightider87]

Looks like he'll be on campus soon. I think he can make an impact this year.

[jrfaug06]

Great music

[jade25100]

hardly ever goes down after first contact

you couldn't tackle him in a phone book

[reile567]

richardson, ingram and lacy..can u say earth, wind, and fire?

[Calhexas]

Lacy's style reminds me a lot of Coffee's believe it or not.

[geauxz]

Just watch these 3 plays and ask yourself if you can honestly say you have seen a more impressive effort on a HS football field.

1) At 3:30 watch him drag players across the ground for 10+ yards.

2) At 6:12 watch a miracle as 9 of 11 defenders make contact with him and yet he still scores.

3) On the very last play, after zigging, zagging, cutting, snorting, and kicking up dust, Eddie actually hi fives #26 Effrem Reed as he falls across the goal line.(You may have missed that)

[SqueaksUofA]

lmao at the last play....

[geauxz]

A few points to add:

1) These are junior season highlights.

2) Eddie shared the backfield with Kelvin York and Desmond Thompson, meaning his stats came from roughly 40% on the field time.

3) Kelvin York had over 1000 yards rushing, Desmnd Thompson had around 1000 All Purpose Yards

4) When Eddie was on the field, everyone in the stadium knew he was getting the ball, heck,people orbiting the Earth in the space shuttle knew. Good blocking can't make up for 10 players stacked up in the box.

[geauxz]

While I agree that Dutchtown had a solid O-line, as 4 Dutchtown players that were on this team when this was filmed are playing O-line in college, 3 of which are DI. However, they were playing against D-linemen and LBs that signed with DI schools, several of which signed with SEC schools, including Alabama. None of the O-line signed with an SEC caliber school.

[cccjsw]

i think he would take upchurch's place eventually and do great things.....

[Argiros]

I like the music. rtr

[SECISBEAST]

i think hes just as good as trent richardson

[ashtonhenson]

i almost agree, the only thing i see different is that trent is slightly quicker on his feet, but eddie looks to be a little bit harder of a runner after first contact ROLL TIDE

[Rolltide339]

richardson has speed and can run people over the only downside is his cutback abitlity...his spin move is unbelievable though

[ashtonhenson]

agreed haha roll tide!

sep 5 will tell all

[wagz03182009]

i just graduated this year with eddie at dutchtown and he has carried our team since he was just a sophomore and he kept the stands packed every friday night...this guy has so many moves and the size to wear out a defense. He is very tough. Throughout the 3 years that he started varsity, he has only been hurt once and he was only out for 3 weeks and this is amazing considering our team only threw the ball and average of 6-8 times a game. So eddie always had the ball in his hands!

[geauxz]

True, this is junior season highlights, so Eddie or Kelvin or Desmond always did, I will post additional comment on this.

[jdlev45]

As far as Richardson vs. Lacy goes, Lacy played for a lot better team and had a lot better linemen blocking for him.

[Rolltide339]

i agree however...eddie in the video runs over a tun of people...they have to be putting 8 people every play he is in there so blocking is better but that doesnt mean he isnt makeing the play

[peeptheswag]

Trent Richardson played in florida enough said. Trent is physically imposing. He did win state in weightlifting too

[eminart]

I've been saying since we signed this guy that he may be the best RB coming in. TR's highlights look great, but Lacy's are even better, in my opinion.

I've also been hearing through the grapevine that it looks like he's on track to qualify, as is Bowman.

[JayMalone]

hold on a second folks.

TR goes up against MUCH tougher competition.

TR has more power. he'll but a LB on his ass.

eddie lacy i think, might just take Mark Ingram's spot though.

put trent out there to soften guys up, then lacy out there with his sweet moves to put 'em in the grave.

i also think this guy would be a GREAT kick returner once javy goes NFL.

[geauxz]

Sorry friend, but "MUCH tougher competition" simply does not exist, period. These are 11th grade highlights from the toughest 5A conference in the state of Louisiana, "The River Parishes". There are more DI scholarships per capita awarded to players from the schools in this video, than any other HS football district in the country. I think there are 13 players in these highlights that will be playing in the SEC. Refute it :-)

[dookie23373]

Dude, hs football in the panhandle is known for being the weakest area in the state f UF. Trent is going to do great things for us at Alabama, but the competition Mr, Lacy went up against in HS is much tougher than what Trent saw. I hope he qualifies, what a backfield it will be with TR, Lacy, and Ingram.

[JayMalone]

you're probably right.

but for whatever reason, eddie lacy makes it look easy, but TR makes it look like he has to go to hell and back to gain positive yardage.

maybe TR's o-line just reallllly sucked in HS.

[Jokerdog2812]

ur right Trent played for a pretender and Eddie played for a strong team I think it was Dutchtown

[GoneGuano]

I think Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson better look out or this kid will take the starting position.

[chuaner]

will eddie lacy get qualified for this fall?

[GoneGuano]

I have no clue. If he doesn't we will still have Mark Ingram, Roy Upchurch and Trent Richardson.

[maxims9]

holy shit!!! I thought TR was da shit, this guy's cuts and spins are top shelf. Can't wait till Sep 5 RFTR

[GrooveDoctor77]

This guy is amazing,he has that rare thing. natural vision in the hole,speed,cutting abilty and power Ive looked at alot of Trent Richardsons clips and I really think this guy will play this year if he qualifies ,he broke 9 tackles on the 1 clip and broke 2 or more tacles every time he touched the ball,.. with Trents Power and Eddies all around running the SEC defenses will get run over if the 09 Oline comes around

[PharaohOfDaSouth]

damn i cant till dis season starts!

[chaparadza3]

Got Damn he a bama too! yea yall gonna have the sickest back field this year i think he better then richardson honestly and he wicked with that spin move but honestly if bryce brown go to miami den dey gonna have da sickest backfield including greg cooper mayne thats a dynasty real talk yall

[bamafan954]

this guys a beast, he sure loves that spin move

[uabama87]

he is a great back, but more than likely he wont academically qualify this year. We will be in fine shape though with Ingram, Richardson, and Upchurch in the backfield. rtr

[aubiesucks12]

he's good but if you're comparing him to TR, take a look at trent's highlights again, he's been called the next earl campbell

[geauxz]

I did.

Eddie looks stronger, more powerful, and seems to fight harder for inches...

TR seems to be more of an open space guy, maintains high speed on slashing cuts...

What an amazing backfield it will be with these guys in it...

[angrykoolaideman]

i hope our new o-line can make some holes for these kids in the fall.

[xxjbfanxx]

WOW! Had to watch this video 2 or 3 times to see all those moves. Glad this kid is on board and not at LSU!

[xjuslookinx]

will be a GREAT addition to our stable of backs we already have!! Roll Tide Roll!!

[mokk16]

is it just me or does hype for trent overshadow this guy? He seems like he has better moves than mr. richardson.

[bravescd14]

that kid looks sick as hell...hope he qualifies

[mhlcds]

Roll Tide!
