After running for 835 yards on 141 carries (120 ypg, 6 ypc) with 8 TDS in the final 7 games of the season, Synjyn is drawing some attention at the Medal of Honor game.

He's a big body with quick and experience both behind the QB and in the slot. Im not really even sure what his potential is, as he played QB and then A Back (wing) his first three years, and then mostly backed up a guy who had been biding his time. But after the two losses they really unleashed him.

He hits the hole with authority, and tho he isnt a bruiser like Jon Dwyer was, he wont be arm tackled either and he has a great stiff arm. His receiving ability is kind of an unknown, as he has more completions than receptions for his career, but he is a good pass blocker. Also showed against Miss St that while he isnt a burner, he can peel off a big play against fast defenses. Transitioning from the placement of a fullback to a traditional halfback will be a step to climb, but should be small given that hes already been shuffled around.

Could be a nice 3rd down/short yardage back. Incidentally reminds me of Joique Bell a little, with less hammer and more wiggle.
