We had been advised by the coaches that he is equipped with an afterburner, it was evident on his run!

Breaks 2 arm tackles and accelerates past the 2nd level. This kid is going to be special. Feaster/ETN might be the new Thunder and Lightening.

which is thunder and which is lightning? They're both fast and powerful.

what is extremely impressive to me is that this was not a very well blocked play by our O Line. The defensive end beats the tackle and seals the edge then gets shrugged off by ETN. Then the safety does come up a hair late and has a poor angle (prob underestimates ETN's speed) but he does make contact, but is hardly even slows ETN down. ETN's lower body strength is pretty impressive for a true freshman.

What's great is around the :28-:30 mark you can see Wilkins getting ready to sprint on the field to celebrate with him.
That's the kind of thing that makes our team special (along with the incredible talent and all).

And number 42 on the sideline ready to sprint down to congratulate him!
Wilkins has done this over and over...what a great teammate and leader!

The ability to re-accelerate is amazing.

He was moving when he broke that last arm tackle and it slowed him down. At that point it looks like a good 15 yard run where he'l surely be caught and/or pushed out of bounds, but he manages to get up to speed so quickly it was actually hard to believe. I haven't really seen that sort of ability in a Clemson uniform since Spiller. Bright future ahead (which is particularly awesome to say during a bright present).

Kenny Flowers had that kind of acceleration before his knee injury. Joe Jett did too.
