<strong>THE CARROLL FILE</strong> <strong>PLAYER: </strong>Lovasea’ Carroll <strong>POSITION:</strong> RB <strong>SCHOOL:</strong> Bradenton IMG Academy <strong>CLASS: </strong>2021 <strong>HEIGHT: </strong>6-1 <strong>WEIGHT:</strong> 195 <strong>PREP REDZONE FLORIDA 2021 PRE-SEASON RANKING:</strong> 18 <strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-41603" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/08/Florida-Player-Spotlight-4-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="188" />THE SCOOP ON CARROLL</strong>. The moment you watch his first run, you are immediately sold. He is a smooth back who breaks that line of scrimmage and he is off to the races – with very few people having a chance to catch him. As this Warrenton, Ga. native continues to settle in at IMG Academy, you can see why the University of Georgia will be his destination. He runs hard, breaks tackles and has outstanding speed. Will flourish in the SEC because he is strong and never stops moving. A talent who is more than capable of breaking tackles. Definitely a name you will be hearing plenty about for years to come. Any college coach who watched him perform over the past few years has come away impressed with his athletic ability. <strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10625139/Lovasea-Carroll">https://www.hudl.com/profile/10625139/Lovasea-Carroll</a> <strong>RUNNING BACK SURPLUS IN FLORIDA</strong> In addition to Carroll, there are some other standout runners to keep an eye on this coming season. Many Have not even jumped on to the radar yet: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32703" first="Katravis" last="Geter"], 5-10, 200, Miami Carol City</strong>. If he didn’t have an early season injury, this young man would be on every list in the country. Even though he came back late in the season, it may not have been enough to turn heads. If he is healthy this coming season, here is a runner who will go from nowhere to the head of the list. He is quick, powerful and instinctive – and if you ask elite defensive players about him, they will all tell you what this talented football player can do. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/9856494/Katravis-Geter">https://www.hudl.com/profile/9856494/Katravis-Geter</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32783" first="Jayden" last="Jackson"], 5-9, 175, Bratt Northview.</strong> Make no mistake. This is a big-time football player who gets it done on both sides of the ball. As a running back, he explodes, runs with power and has tremendous vision. Running out of the Wing-T, he is very dangerous because of his speed and ability to get up field. He also plays receiver, and on defense, his ability to cover has made him very valuable in the secondary. Impressive football talent who will give colleges many options where to line him up. <strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/9710642/Jayden-Jackson">https://www.hudl.com/profile/9710642/Jayden-Jackson</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32684" first="Ricky" last="Parks"], 5-11, 200, Tampa Gaither.</strong> This University of Utah commit is a solid runner who has speed, great vision and hits the hole quickly. A very strong back who does not go down on the first hit. This is someone who has a chance to be very special. All he needs is exposure and plenty of carries. <strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/9828733/Ricky-Parks">https://www.hudl.com/profile/9828733/Ricky-Parks</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32790" first="Jaison" last="Patterson"], 5-10, 180, Jacksonville Ed White.</strong> Very few backs can do what this young man does when he sees a hole. Not only does he have tremendous top-end acceleration, but his vision and ability to stop and go is something that is pure instincts. No matter if it’s tackle to tackle or bouncing runs outside, this is a back who can do it all. Even on the defensive side of the ball – as a linebacker – his passion and love for the game shines through – as he makes tackles and runs offensive players down. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10294980/Jaison-Patterson">https://www.hudl.com/profile/10294980/Jaison-Patterson</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32792" first="K’wan" last="Powell"], RB, 5-9, 195, Vernon.</strong> Yet another big-time football prospect who is waiting for this final season at the high school level to showcase his many skills. A strong, quick and instinctive back who get hit a home run at any time – using his burst, balance and ability to find that endzone. He is a lot stronger than he looks, and when he breaks the line of scrimmage and nobody is in the way, good luck running him down. Solid back who everyone will be watching. <strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12193936/Kwan-Powell">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12193936/Kwan-Powell</a> <strong><em>You Can Contact Larry Blustein with prospect or team information at: <a href="mailto:Foridakids1@aol.com">Foridakids1@aol.com</a>.
