Yeldon. In fact, Yeldon won the award after all three of his A-Day games, including 2012, when he should have still been a senior at Daphne High.<\/p>\n<p>The same is true of Najee Harris, who has done nothing but impress since becoming an early enrollee in Tuscaloosa.<br \/>\nAs good as Yeldon, Ingram, Richardson and Damien Harris were, none were as highly recruited as Najee Harris.<\/p>\n<p>And, unlike fellow early enrollee Brian Robinson, he will have the benefit of running with the second-team offense against the second-team defense.<\/p>\n<p>Spring games are made for overhype.
