Film Evaluation

Shifty runner who has the ability to use his speed laterally and still be able to get downhill in a hurry. Has a knack for finding the end zone. Really good straight-line speed to be a home run hitter at the next level. Can make people miss in tight spaces then has the burst to get away from them. Can catch the ball out of the backfield. Explosive plays all over his film in different ways. Can’t wait for watch this guy find the end zone plenty of times at RES.

What this signing means

Guillory decided to reclassify from the Class of 2026 to the Class of 2025. With reclassifying, there will be assumptions that next year is a redshirt and developmental year for him. However, the running backs room enters the offense with Micah Bernard graduating and no backs with a proven track record returning.
