Michigan received its second 2016 running back commit of the week in the form of in-state prospect Matt Falcon(Southfield, Michigan).
Falcon is a four-star prospect and the 13th-ranked running back in the class of 2016, according to the 247 Composite.
Much like Kingston Davis, Falcon is a bigger back at 6-1, 215 pounds. But the similarities do not stop there.
Falcon has a nice combination of power and speed in his arsenal and he is very shifty with his feet. What separates him from a guy like Davis is that he has the home run ability the backs his size generally do not possess. He has very good acceleration and can make guys miss in the open field without losing any of his momentum.
He also shows good vision and patience in waiting for holes to open up. Falcon can break tackles and keep a pile moving with his legs.
Falcon tore his ACL in 2013. On tape, you can still see that he may think about that a bit as he tends to concede when he is wrapped up below the waist. He has the ability to be an every down back, but his pass catching ability leaves a little bit to be desired.
Falcon and Davis as a one-two punch down the road has the potential to be lethal if both guys can stay healthy. Michigan has two very good prospects at the position heading to Ann Arbor in 2016.
