Jamal Abdur-Rahman is a 5-foot-9, 170-pound running back from La Salle College High School that brings great athleticism to the field and while the three-star athlete is being recruited by Maryland, Syracuse, Rutgers, Pittsburgh and Connecticut as a running back, we could definitely see him playing in the defensive backfield as well with his tremendous ball skills, ability to turn into an offensive player once he gets a turnover and great hips and speed.
