Trying to tackle Austin is like catching a rabbit in a cornfield. He has a tremendous ability to shift gears and accelerate in the open field. He is a great cutback runner, because of his shiftiness and vision. He plays bigger than he is and is not afraid to lower his shoulder and run between the tackles and put his body on the line in pass pro. He is an exceptional receiver out of the backfield and can even line up in the slot. - Bob Lichtenfels


Biography:
As a senior, Austin played in the inaugral Maryland Crab Bowl and was selected to participate in the Offense/Defense All-Star game.
