Brian Linder of the Daytona Beach News Journal thinks Kentucky got a special player in running back JoJo Kemp.
The first time I saw Jojo play was the ESPN2 game against Jacksonville Sandalwood. Sandalwood had a handful of big-time Division 1 guys on its defense including DeMarcus Walker and Kain Daub and Kemp rushed for 210 yards and two touchdowns. And, I think, he showed that he is a complete back, Linder said. He is not a burner, but he has good burst when he sees the open field he hits another gear and decent speed.
He keeps his feet moving and had great balance. He is deceptively strong and does a good job of bouncing off tacklers. He is not afraid to run between the tackles. He just has all the tools to be a very good player at the next level.
Linder expected Kemp to go to either West Virginia or Pittsburgh.
I believe he had two SEC offers Kentucky and Tennessee. I think he is driven by the fact that he feels he was a bit overlooked early. In that case, it makes sense that he would want to prove himself in the SEC, Lincer said.
He could be an impact player next season. I don't think there's any doubt. It won't be easy in the SEC, but he seems like the type of kid that will keep battling until he earns playing time.
