2011 Player Spotlights: Adam Lowe

Adam Lowe
SM East

Position: Running Back
Height: 5-foot-8
Weight: 170 lbs.
Class: Senior

Stat to Note
As SM East's primary ballcarrier in 2010, Lowe racked up five rushing touchdowns and just over 600 rushing yards in the Lancer's pass-heavy offense.

Scouting Report
As a senior, Lowe will be expected to shoulder much more of the Lancer's offensive load than he did as a junior. Last season quarterback John Schrock was often called on to gain ground yardage for SM East.  Lowe also split time in the backfield with Seth Hartman.  Without Schrock or Hartman, much more of the focus will be on Lowe to keep the team's rushing totals up.

Lowe is lightning fast in open field, and his ability to get past second level defenders so quickly is what makes him such a threat. He had an impressive average of six yards per carry as a junior and that number should go up substantially along with his touchdown totals now that he has a year of experience under his belt and another year of maturity in Chip Sherman's offense.

Lowe isn't a bruiser who will be receiving 20 plus carries a game, but when he does get his touches you can bet he'll make them count.  Expect quite a few highlight reel plays from the senior in his second year in the SM East backfield.
