Congrats! He has the tools to become a great running back. Hope the OL can improve to provide the necessary openings. Hope he develops more 'vision'. Number of times this year he as major openings to the left or right, but doggedly plowed ahead where play was designed. The great backs are able to improvise to the 'daylight', unless you are Jim Brown who was able to run defenders over! Strengthen up! Film up! A great future awaits.

There should be more creativity on offense next year with Yoder and Garcia. Opportunity for 2 back, whether short yardage I formation or pro set 2 back, wing back, slot RB. Both of them have good hands and have similar size.

Rotation at RB and WR allows for keeping everyone fresh and creating mismatches depending on opponents weaknesses. If anything that hurt Lehigh last year was predictability on offense of single back set and 5 yard swing passes or slant passes. Defenses were jumping on those.

So hopefully, OC is working on packages by opponent with a high level of creativity.

Hopefully, Garcia will be healthy. Seemed slowed last year, and then didn't see the field hardly in the second half of the season. He is a real talent if healthy and maintains his quickness. Any word on his physical status?

The one downside I’ve noticed about Garcia is he seems to fumble quite a bit.

Pretty much agree. Healthy he can be a game changer. He did seem different this past Season. Ot as quick or fast. Perhaps the added wght. Is he even in the wrestling room?
All our RBs will do better behind a better OL.
