| 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."
