He isn’t a big back, but as the saying goes “he plays much larger than he is”. Brycen Armold has that ability to find the hole, and if it’s not there he’ll make one. He’s got break away speed when needed with a 4.55 40 time. Brycen has been training with one of the best, Darryl Stokes, who says Armold is “explosive and fast”.
Head coach Dave Hahn says “Brycen was 1st in the LL League rushing and ranks 2nd all-time in single season rushing for Manheim Central falling 20 yards short of the school record. Many of Brycen’s yards came off of yards after contact. He is getting interest from some FCS Schools, Division 2 and 3 programs at this time”.
