If he puts up numbers even remotely close to Howard, we're definitely in business!

A quick look on YT and the few highlights felt a lot like Ellison. Deceptively "quick" with the long stride but not game changing fast; shifty as hell.
 
If anyone has watched the video, this kid is a spitting image of Ellison. Ellison is 5'9 210 and Beebee is 5'10 220. It feels like Ellison instinctually knows the angle and how far to lean into an oncoming hit that the end result is him being put right back into a running stance. This kid shows that same skill. On video he gets hit 4 yards before the end zone and you think he's obviously going down, but it just stands him up and it's almost like he never even lost forward momentum.

Lee averaged 6.9 ypc last year and 5.3 ypc this year, on a garbage 3-9 UAB team. He compiled over 1,100 all-purpose yards. Now imagine what he could do with an IU OL and threat of a passing game? I like that he's also a receiving back as our RB's had 27 total catches (no one over 11 on the season) and he had 30 catches himself.

I think this is the perfect nationally "unknown" replacement. He'll be a junior so we may still have him for a couple of years.
