I think the kid tried his hand at American college football first but crossed over to rugby (presumable because he wasn't good enough?). American Rugby should look at all the ex-NCAA footballers who arent good enough for the NFL. The talent pool just dwarfs the rugby players.

Not every Rugby player can play NFL Football.

Carlin can. He was a football star and AllAmerican sprinter and hurdler. But I would like to see Carlton continue to excel at Rugby and hope he is on Team USA 2016 in Rio

Carlin Isles was both a sprinter and football player (RB) at Ashland University. As you can imagine watching the vid, he was a talented KR. However, at 5' 8" and 157 lbs, he's just too small for the NFL.

 

But his speed, open field running skills, and understanding of angles make him a natural at rugby. Still new to the sport, he's tearing it up.
