Skinny: Arcidiacono is a productive runner who works hard and moves the chains. He’s a shifty runner with good acceleration, but needs to get his 40-yard dash time down to 4.5 seconds to draw some major offers.
“I consider myself fast and quick and I cut a lot,” he said. “I run low to the ground and hit the hole fast.”
Arcidiacono will camp at Penn State, Boston College and Virginia Tech this summer. He doesn’t have any offers yet.
