Clarkston's Ian Eriksen is proving himself a genuine Division I college football prospect with the colossal season he's having rushing the rock.

In his first year starting in the Wolfpack backfield, Eriksen has shown all the necessary tools.

I had a few doubts about his breakaway speed prior to seeing him in-person, but boy was I wrong.

After watching him play live the past two weeks I can firmly say the eye-test doesn't lie….This kid is a BURNER BALLER with few equals in the area…….he has WHEELS!!!....to say the least.

EXHIBIT A;

On Friday night in Clarkston's 41-20 walloping of Oak Park, Eriksen extended his OC-leading rushing numbers, running for 292 yards and four touchdowns on a workmanlike 36 carries. The best example of his breakaway speed came on his final scoring run of the evening, a 55-yard jaunt straight up the middle and into the end zone in the fourth quarter. Nose-to-nose with Oak Park stud sophomore blazer Johnny Kelley at the 30-yard line, Eriksen kicked it into overdrive and reached another gear, sprinting past a would-be-tackling Kelley by several lengths the final dozen yards.

Eriksen has racked up 1,760 yards and scored 30 touchdowns so far this fall.

Just start calling this C-TOWN powerhouse PICASSO, because his season has been a work of art!!!

I.E. on the high school football field is like A.I. on the NBA hardwood in his prime!!!
