2021 Western PA D2/D3 Running Backs
Alex Christo
If you are looking for a running back to play at the next level, check out these 4 players, who I think could produce at the D2/D3 level.
Jaden Harrison, Running Back 5’9 158 – Farrell HS
Junior Season Analysis: Jaden is undersized. He does stay pad level through the hole. He shows quickness and speed. Shows good balance, has the ability to break some tackles. He shows good vision. Jaden is a good player. I can see him produce at the D-II level but would not be surprised if an FCS team takes a chance on him. According to his Twitter, he has no offers.
NyaSanu Greene II, Running Back 6’3 230 – New Brighton HS
Junior Season Analysis: NyaSanu has good size for a big back. He does show some quickness but lacks overall speed. Plays receiver as well, does show good ball skills, can catch with his hands. He does look stiff. Shows to keep moving feet on contact to gain extra yards. He is not an overly physical kid for a power back. According to Twitter, he does hold an FCS and D-III offer. For a running back, I believe he would be a D-II, D-III player.
Vinny Sirianni, Running Back 5’9 210 – Peters Township HS
Junior Season Analysis: Vinny is undersized. He has some quickness and speed. Shows he can catch out of the backfield. He has good vision. Lacks balance when hit makes contact. Does not have a ton of clips at running back. I am interested to see what he does this season. I think he could be a good D-III player.
[player_tooltip player_id="27394" first="Derrick" last="Topeck"], Running Back 5’10 190 – Penn Hills HS
Junior Season Analysis: Derrick has okay size. He shows quickness but lacks speed. Shows good vision. Keeps feet moving on contact. He is a physical kid. I think Derrick would be a D-III running back. According to Twitter, he has no offers.
