Scout.com Player Evaluation:
STRENGTHS
 Balance
 Cutback Ability
 Tackle-Breaking Ability
Outstanding combination of power, balance and speed. Shows soft hands while running routes out of the backfield. Durable enough to be an every down back in college. Super vision that enables him to see the cut-back lanes. Won't go down on first contact. Runs with square pads and breaks arm tackles.


Biography:
As a junior, rushed for 2,067 yards and 20 touchdowns on 281 carries. He also caught 11 passes for 290 yards and two touchdowns, and even completed one pass for 36 yards. Formerly attended Hazelwood Central High School in Florissant, Missouri. Has recorded a personal best of 21.0 in the 200 meter dash. Bench: 305/Squat: 460/Power Clean: 280/Vert Jump: 37"

Aldridge: "I like to block whenever I can at running back. A lot of people don't expect me to be as fast as I am for my size, but I'm real quick. I've got great vision because a lot of the stuff that I do when I run the ball, for some reason, I don't remember actually doing it. You know what I mean? I always leave room for myself to improve and get better."

Aldridge reports a 3.0 GPA/May SAT; June ACT -- both first time
