Eden James- Treasure Coast
5’10 180lbs
James is a terrific running back Prospect and one of the best overall running backs in South Florida, is part of a plethora of ball carriers for Treasure Coast’s high-powered rushing offense. Last season he rushed for 751 yards and nine touchdowns and averaged over 107 yards per game. James is an outstanding back that has tremendous jump-cut ability, he’s a do-it-all back that has great vision, speed and runs through contact consistently. He’s just scratching the surface of how good he can be. Currently has an offer from the University of Miami and Wake Forest.

Jadyn Azeredo-Dematthews- Treasure Coast

Azeredo-Dematthews is an excellent 3-down running back Prospect, he rushed for 578 yards and five touchdowns and averaged over 13 yards per carry! He’s a very patient runner that has good vision which leads to explosive plays and long runs. He has natural hands and shows the ability to be used in the passing game.

Rico Porcha- Treasure Coast
5’11 185lbs
Porcha is a really good Prospect in his own right, he rushed for 339 yards and two touchdowns and also added a hundred yards receiving on the season. He’s a very good athlete, despite his size he shows the ability to run with power and has very good balance and ability to run through tackles, also is very good at letting the hole develop and pick up chunk yards with his burst and acceleration. He’s a big-play threat that could break a game open at anytime which is evident by him averaging over 14 yards per carry. He also has the ability to move outside and play receiver at the next level.

Marvin Watson Jr- Treasure Coast
5’10 165lbs
Watson is yet another good running back Prospect for Treasure Coast, I’ve never seen this many good running backs on one team, he rushed for 325 yards and eight touchdowns and he also rushed for over 14 yards per carry as well! Watson is a smooth runner that just glides over the field, he has good vision, instincts and breakaway speed, but also shows the ability to break tackles and keep his legs pumping. I’m very excited to watch him and his teammates this season.

Roberts is a sleeper prospect that ran for 295 yards and two touchdowns last season for Centennial. Roberts is a tough bag that runs with power and patience, he shows acceleration to hit the hole and pick up tough yards, he has burst to hit the hole inside or to bounce his runs outside. He’s also a good student that has a 3.6 GPA.

D’Marvelous Reid- Fort Pierce Central
5’10 190lbs
Read had a very good season rushing for 417 yards and also added 41 yards receiving Fort Pierce Central. He has the potential to double the yards next season. Unfortunately I couldn’t evaluate him because he doesn’t have any Hudl film.
