2021 Stock-Risers: Running Backs

The updated 2021 rankings are out now and many players have made jumps from their previous ranking or are new faces to the list. Let’s take a look at which senior running backs climbed up the rankings this season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="29754" first="Camron" last="Terry"] | Grandville | 5’10", 195</strong> Terry has been one of the best running backs in the state this season. He has solid size for the position and consistently makes plays with his outstanding speed and vision. He is committed to playing his college ball at Davenport where he should become a very good college player. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="29770" first="Te’Avion" last="Warren"] | Davison | 5’8", 180</strong> A transfer from Grand Blanc, Warren became an impact player for a very talented Davison team. He runs bigger than his size and displays the contact balance, vision and physicality to be successful on the collegiate level. He is committed to Wayne State and should become a starter in a couple of seasons. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="29762" first="Jaden" last="Blanchard"] | Kalamazoo Central | 5’9", 180</strong> Blanchard is a very underrated player in this class. He has a compact build and shows good speed, vision and balance with some receiving ability out of the backfield. He holds offers from Lake Erie, Heidelberg, Ohio Wesleyan, Otterbein, Hope and Olivet, but deserves much more recruiting attention. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="78881" first="Brody" last="Woods"] | Petoskey | 6’2", 190</strong> Woods is a bit of an unknown, but he has an intriguing frame for the position and could end up being more of a runner-receiver hybrid at the next level. He holds offers from Valparaiso, Kalamazoo, and Olivet so far, but he could pick up a few more before the end of the cycle. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="79577" first="Cam" last="Burford"] | Stoney Creek | 5’10", 180</strong> Burford has the biggest breakout season of any running back in the state and was crucial to Stoney Creek's success this season. He isn't a speed demon, but he is a powerful runner with great vision that consistently made plays all season. He holds offers from Hope, Lawrence Tech, and Mount Union, but could see more by the end of this recruiting cycle.
