UA could have trouble with explosive Ajayi

Boise State tailback Jay Ajayi might be the most skilled and talented running back Arizona has played this year. He’s Ka’Deem Carey with more speed, and has rushed for 1,689 yards this year. I watched him in TV games against BYU and Utah State and he is dynamic. Never heard of him? Ajayi was born in London, moved to America as a youngster and became a soccer player. He committed to Boise State before a big recruiting chase could take place, and once he got to Idaho was sidelined for discipline issues: In October 2011, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor petty theft after trying to steal several pairs of sweatpants from a Walmart, according to Boise police. He fulfilled his sentence (90 days of jail, with 85 suspended) by taking eight hours of classes, according to court records.
