"He's just a little ball of muscle," said James Thomas, Pare's high school coach. "He's making an impact right away at Arkansas State, and it doesn't surprise me at all."
A true freshman at Arkansas State University, Pare has become arguably ASU's top rushing threat this season. Senior running back Jamal Jones is the team's leading rusher with 267 yards on 63 carries, but Pare is close behind with 225 yards on 28 less carries. Pare also has more receptions than any running back on the team, catching 8 passes for 56 yards and 2 touchdowns.
But according to his former and current coaches, no one should be surprised by Pare's early production.
