Sam McGuffie featured in Cy-Fair/Cy-Falls matchup on ESPN2 - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

Aside from the programs' success and rivalry, one of the main attractions will undoubtedly be Cy-Fair running back Sam McGuffie. The 5-11, 185-pound junior rushed for 3,121 yards and 43 touchdowns last season and became known around the nation for hurdling a defensive back in the Bobcats' Nov. 3 win over Cypress Creek, which was captured by the cameras of Ch. 55's High School Sports Live. To date, the clip has received over 430,000 hits on YouTube.com.

I have mentioned several times on the high school threads that I was quite impressed with his ability. I went to the playoff game last year between Cy-Fair and Hightower, and he simply made Hightower's better than average defense look totally inept.

I enjoy watching high school standouts, and tracking their progression through the next level.

I was hearing some parents at the Langham Creek/Kingwood playoff baseball game talk about the Fair/Falls game being on TV and one adult said that one of his sons friends recorded McGuffie leaping over a car at a local Sonic on a cell phone and he saw it. Car was parked and McGuffie jumped from over the passenger side door to the driver side door, not over the hood. The guy is a legend over here, lol.

And for those that don't know, he has been offered a scholarship by USC.

He's obviously got speed and outstanding atthletic skilis, but he's awfully small isn't he ? How much will his smallish size hurt his chances of making it in a big-time university program in a top conference like the Big 10, Pac 10, or even SEC ?

The various sporting news show him between 180 and 190 points and 5'11 - 6.0' which isn't bad for someone going into their senior year of high school. Given that a large number of running backs aren't very large, once he gains more muscle and strength in college, he could very well be one of the next great backs.

Any idea where he's going? Michigan fans seem to think he's theirs to lose.

I cant wait! I would have never of thought that my school would have been on ESPN for football, thats crazy. Although last years game was amazing I was going Crazy! Forget Sam...go Cy Falls Ealges!!!!

**HOU-TEX** · 08-07-2007

McGuffie didn't really impress me much when I went to watch Pearland play them. Whitaker and Proctor from Pearland stole the game. Whitaker's going to play for UT and Proctor's going to play for OU. Don't get me wrong. I think McGuffie is good, but just didn't show it that game.

It was an awesome game!

imatexan · 10-21-2007

What I tell yall! Cy Falls won!! Ya! Shane Turner is better than Sam!

" McGuffie loved Cal and Tedford, but he also understood certain financial realities. According to Yahoo! Real Estate, the average home for sale in Berkeley this week costs $629,000. The average price in Ann Arbor is $228,500."

Who Knew ? Turns out McGuffie chose Michigan over CAL because of cheap
