STRENGTHS
 Breakaway Speed
 Power
 Tackle-Breaking Ability
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Blocking Ability
Saine is a north-south runner with excellent speed and is most certainly a home run threat. Saine is very powerful at times, showing strength with good leg drive or just lowering his shoulder. He is the type of back that can move a pile and get you a few extra tough yards on second and third effort. Once he hits the open field or gets in the second level he can blow right by you with his speed.


Biography:
As a senior, Saine had 1,895 yards and 27 touchdowns on 259 carries and gaining another 412 yards on 30 pass receptions. As a junior, Saine rushed for over 1,300 yards and scored 21 touchdowns while garnering All-State, All-Conference, and Conference Player of the Year honors.

Saine: "I would say that my speed is my strongest asset, but I am not scared to deliver a big hit. I love contact. I have a fast burst, but I want to also be known for my tackle breaking abilities."
