By BUDDY MOOREHOUSE
Take a guy that's 6-2 and 207 pounds, give him world-class
speed and then put him in a football uniform and what do you
have?
A bunch of drooling scouts around the National Football
League.
SUCH IS the case with Michigan tailback Butch Woolfolk.
The senior from Westfield, N.J. is on a tear for the
Wolverines this season, already piling up 860 yards in six
games, and the NFL can't wait for him to graduate.
"Butch Woolfolk has a lot of great qualities," said Gil
Brandt, the director of player personnel for the Dallas
Cowboys. "He's got good speed, he's a great competitor; and
he's got good hands. That's very important today with all of
the backs coming out of the backfield as receivers. He's a
heck of a fine player and a heck of a fine person. I just can't
say enough good things about him."
THE MAIN REASON that Woolfolk is so appealing to the
pros is not so much:his statistics, but for his athletic build.
"He's big and fast," said spokesman Gary Wright of the
Seattle Seahawks. "I don't think that there's any question
that we're looking at him."
With his outstanding speed (he has a wind-aided 10.1
clocking in the 100 meters to his credit) and relatively large
size, one scout compared him to former Buffalo Bills running
back O. J. Simpson.
This should help to make Woolfolk's name one of the first
called when the NFL meets in New York for its draft next
May. "There's no doubt he's going to be a first round pick,'
said Brandt.
"HE'S DEFINITELY a high-rated player," said Harry
Buffington, the director of United Scouts, a group which does
scouting for 16 NFL teams. "It's impossible to say where
he'll go in the draft, but I'd say he'll probably go in the first or
second round."
But whether or not he'll be the first at his position taken in
the draft is another question. Another senior running back
having a stellar year is Marcus Allen of Southern California.
Carrying the ball almost 40 times a game, Allen has gained
over 200 yards in every contest except one this season. "It's
really hard to compare Allen and Woolfolk," said Brandt.
"But Allen is probably playing better than any college back
right now."
Despite all of the attention the pro scouts have been giving
Woolfolk, it doesn't seem to be changing his coach, Bo
Schembechler. "One of our scouts went out to Michigan to
look at Woolfolk," said a spokesman for the Oakland
Raiders. "But the coach wouldn't let him in to see practice,
so we never got to see him."
Come next season, all of the NFL will no doubt be seeing
Woolfolk more than enough.
