350-Pound High School Running Back Is Freak of Nature

Back in November, we brought you highlights of Sam Gordon, a tiny little girl whose blazing speed made her impossible to tackle for the boys she decimated in pee-wee football.

Well, David Fangupo is kind of like the opposite.

Nothing like a bird, more like a cargo plane, the 350-pound high school running back has gone viral this week after the highlight reel above was uploaded to YouTube on Monday. It's picked up more than 700,000 views since and is pretty incredible to watch.

Most impressive, perhaps? The massive rusher doesn't just rely on his heft to move the pile; he's actually got some impressive speed once he gets past the line. That combination of speed and power has earned Fangupo a football scholarship to the University of Hawaii.

Check out the novel video above and let us know what you think in the comments.
