Here is what 247Sports Andrew Ivins had to says about Girard.
Hyperactive running back prospect that’s quick to hit the hole and fight for yardage. Burst onto the national radar after the first game of junior season in which he rushed for just over 300 yards and four touchdowns against one of the Sunshine State’s top defenses. Size hasn’t been third-party verified, but is believed to own more of a streamlined build. However, has proven to be rather effective working between the tackles as he plows through contact and drives himself forward with his lower center of gravity. Isn’t the type of ball carrier that wants to bounce everything outside, but has the foot speed to beat defenders to the perimeter. Hasn’t caught a ton of passes at the prep level and will need to earn a degree in pass protection to unlock true three-down capabilities, but should be viewed as a potential impact player at the Power Four level with his energy, agility and burst. Could certainly carve out a role early as a change-of-pace option and skillset looks to be tailor made for a power spread attack.
Welcome to the U, Girard ! Welcome to the family!
GO CANES!
