FB
2007 Football Season: 75 pancake blocks.
Named 1st Team All-Region 1(5A).
Why Top 40 in Football: "I
am the best fullback in Mississippi. I am the best at blocking and being a dominate
player in the game. I can change the game around, and there are not too many fullbacks
who can do that."
"We will use him at fullback,
h-back, and he will get in some snaps at tight end," added South Panola head
coach, Lance Pogue. "He is a 6' 1", 230 pounder who has a great deal
of strength and is very explosive. He is just a true old fashion fullback, just
rugged. We did not use him much at running the ball last year because of Tig,
but if there is a team looking for an old fashion fullback, Reuben fits the bill."
