For the second time this season, we felt it was necessary to talk about Michigan State football commit Audric Estime’s video game-like performance.

A week ago, Audric Estime was putting up huge numbers for his St. Joe’s High School. He followed that up with an even more ridiculous performance on Oct. 10.

Rivals‘ No. 215 prospect in the 2021 class committed to Michigan State back in September and he’s already looking like the best prospect of the Mel Tucker era.

According to this New Jersey players of the week site, Estime had yet another monster day for St. Joe’s against Seton Hall Prep, rushing for 286 yards and four touchdowns on just 26 carries. Yes, you read that correctly, the senior running back and four-star Michigan State pledge averaged 11 yards per carry this past weekend.

Those numbers on the site seem a bit contrary to what others recorded as there was word circulating that he actually had 304 rushing yards and 35 receiving yards in the Week 2 game. That means he had 339 all-purpose yards.

So if that second number is correct, he has rushed for 479 yards and seven touchdowns on just 44 carries which is good for 10.9 yards per carry.

What an absolutely insane start to the season and he’s only going to get better. He showed no signs of rust through the first two weeks against New Jersey-based high school opponents and the fact that he’s not a top-five back in the country seems like a crime.

Right now, Estime is ranked the No. 365 recruit in the nation as well as the 22nd-best running back, according to the 247Sports composite. That should change very soon.
