College football talent typically is not nested in the state of New Mexico but there’s an outstanding talent in this corner of the U.S. that everyone’s been talking about. In all fairness, La Cueva High School running back Ronnie Daniels is originally from Texas but it doesn’t matter what part of the Earth he’s from, the kid can tote the football. From the first few clips, you will be instantly reminded of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. Daniels runs with that same kind of wreckless abandon and disregard for body. Daniels hits the hole hard and grabs yards in a hurry. You will love the way he breaks tackles, keeps the play alive and makes something out of nothing. California, Minnesota, New Mexico and New Mexico St. all agree and have offered Daniels scholarships already. More are sure to follow. View Ronnie Daniels’ highlight video, click here.
