Fans think prospects that commit early in the recruiting process get forgotten. Well, Rashard Mendenhall has been committed to Illinois for a long time but he has not been forgotten. Mendenhall, from Skokie (Ill.) Niles West High School, is an exciting and explosive running back prospect that has rushed for over 3,100 yards and 40 touchdowns over the last two seasons. And he did that while splitting time with his older brother (Walter, signed with Illinois).
Mendenhall is not the biggest back in the land but he has great quickness, feet and vision. He also has another gear when daylight breaks. Barring injury he should have a sensational senior season. Check out these highlights on one of the nation’s top running backs.
