2009 Countdown: #70 Michael Cox

Name: Michael Cox
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 208 lbs.
High School: Avon Old Farms in Dorchester, MA
Position: Running back
Class: RS freshman
Jersey Number: #15
Prediction for 2009: A couple carries in mop-up duty

As with the true freshman running backs, several underclassman RBs' paths are blocked by three seniors and Michael Shaw. Cox is no exception, although I imagine he'll get a couple carries in mop-up duty or if Brandon Minor gets injured. Supposedly, Cox is almost a clone of Minor, although he's a tad bit smaller. In 2010, however, I expect Cox to be the bruiser in the backfield with all the electron-sized slots and running backs darting around him.
