IPS Take On Trent Pennix: Versatility is the key with Trent Pennix.

He's being recruited to play tailback, but he could be pound-for-pound the best athlete in this class. At 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, Pennix could stay in the backfield, but once he really hits the weights he has the frame to bulk up and add a lot of weight. 

While he could be a terror at safety or linebacker, Pennix has proven to be a major weapon with the ball in his hands.  His ability to catch the football gives him a chance to stay on the offensive side, and he ultimately could be the heir apparent to Jaylen Samuels at the H-back position.

He certainly resembles Jay Sam at times on the field, and that is extremely high praise.
