tj in highschool played against some of the best teams in Alabama if not the best teams in Alabama. foley, fairhope, McGill-toolen. etc. this kid played running back, wide reciver, and quarterback all at the same time. he would run, catch, and throw. it was crazy.
I'd say the football played up around Birmingham with teams like Hoover and Vestavia is the best football in Alabama, but that doesn't take anything away from what we see in this video.
2:08 is my favorite, to have that kind of vision and lateral quickness is simply amazing, especially when you put it with what he does in the other highlighhts
WOW. As a high schooler he had more control and balance than most NFL runningbacks ever will. Thats stuff you can't teach. The things he did on the field are improbable and incredible on any level, not just high school. Simply amazing. Off the charts.
This is the future Heisman Trophy winner power, speed, shifty, Can catch the ball everything you look for in a back as we say RTR all day reppin Silas, Ala
As a Florida fan I have to say this kid could possibly have a Reggie Bush type year this year. Unreal talent. Alabama is running back U. And O line U. and ball hawing D U. Damn you Bama and your dominance. I may not like you but I have to respect you.
I actually attend Daphne, And I'm always proud to say that TJ graduated from my school! I was a freshman when he was a senior and he was like a superstar in the halls haha. Football season always has the most tension between schools, Baldwin County boys don't play (Although there were a couple Mobile schools featured in this vid). We have the most school pride from August to December. But I'll be honest, our team has lost its spark since TJ left, even though the guys have so much potential!
He's hurdling defenders and running through tackles and breaking ankles and you guys saying it's due to blocking..The school is legit also . They appeared in 5 of the last 11 6A high school championship games winning 2. Give him his props
4:18 is the funniest ish Ive seen in awhile look at the last two defenders that go helplessly clashing into each other.....then #7 just keeps rolling like a rag doll lol
(from wikipedia) "Yeldon attended Daphne High School in Daphne, Alabama. As a senior he rushed for 2,193 yards on 232 carries with 31 touchdowns and won the Alabama Mr. Football Award.[1]" I am not a stats expert, or familiar with the norm for prep school ball, but that sounds crazy good to me.
He was playing 6a football in Alabama with is one of the top states for high school football. He also had over 1000 rushing yards his freshman season at Alabama but you probably think the SEC has small linemen to.
@Connor Green is right tho cause Trent Richardson played for escambia high ( the same high school that emmitt smith play for) in pensacola fl and of course just like tj and emmitt, dat dude was a beast.
I wouldn't expect a 19 year old to be as fast and powerful as a 28 year old. Give him two more years of working out at Alabama and you will likely be saying different.
Actually these were some of the best defenses in Alabama that year. McGill, foley, auburn. All top 10 in the state in rushing yards allowed. So these defenses were not a "joke" it was TJ that made them look like fools.
he clearly says " if u playin against him, hes a monster". so he cant be playin with the best team if he is playin against them. Read the whole sentence correctly before you criticize. thanks.

Im pretty sure i know what we are talking about. Your statement made it seem like the only reason he looks so good is he is playing against smaller d-lineman. He ran all over SEC teams with the largest lineman in the country
i see you're a real football guy cause that's exactly what i was thinking watching these highlights. now i see why there was a difference between his freshman and sophmore seasons at bama.
why are all of you saying he stepped out of bounds, like yeah obviously they called it but that's not the point. Just look at him humiliate the defense that's what you should all be noticing
I can't stand how on every video they feel the need to put slow mo in whenever they think the player is making a good move. It ruins the flow of the clip and I feel makes it harder to evaluate someone when you can't see their moves in real time
