I'm not really sure how to build a power-back, but I'm thinking he should either softcap speed or agility, followed by some vision and carrying. Suggestions?

Power backs need to be fairly balanced. He's going to want to cap that speed and agility. The most effective power backs I've seen have pretty balanced strength/speed/agility, with only a slight edge to strength. Backs that put a TON of points into strength end up with less yardage. If you break 3 tackles a play, but all 11 Def players are faster than you, you'll never get the quality yardage you could with good speed/agility.

Also, carrying is MUCH more important for breaking tackles than some people give credit. My 14 elusive has 14 strength, but almost 30 carrying and he broke 3-6 tackles per game in each scrimmage this season.

Tell him to lay off the SAs for a bit. If he'd spent those points on speed/agility he'd be much more ready to play this season.
