VYPE Hot 20 RBs: No. 19 Kendial Lawrence, Rockwall-Heath

Editor's Note: VYPE columnist Todd Wills prepared a list of the top 20 running backs in the Dallas-Ft. Worth prior to the 2008 season opener. VYPE.com is counting down the VYPE Hot 20 running backs list from 20-1: Here is today's pick: 19. Kendial Lawrence, Rockwall-Heath Lawrence had 1,720 yards and 20 touchdowns. His numbers should only go up in new coach Mickey Moss's offense. Lawrence is another speed burner who is a threat to break the big one at any time. Previous picks were: 20. D.J. Cohen, Plano West Wolves coach Mike Hughes has been looking for consistency at the running back position and he thinks he's finally found it with Cohen. "He's finally bought into our system here," Hughes said. Cohen will get a chance to run behind a huge offensive line, and it's really up to him to be a patient runner. He also has to hit holes and take yards in small chunks if necessary.
