Malachi Graham- Suwanee
5’9 170lbs
Graham is an intriguing Prospect, last season he rushed for 539 yards and four touchdowns. He’s a nice scat-back that shows patience and speed to get to the edge and turn the corner for big chunks of yards, he also shows the ability to drop his shoulder and break tackles and run with power. Graham also shows the ability to be a third-down back catching 7 passes on the year. He could double his production next season for Suwanee.

Brendan Wilson- Wakulla
Wilson had a nice Junior season rushing for 600 yards and two touchdowns and also chipped in with nine catches for 92 yards. He’s a back that can play all three down showing soft hands and the ability to catch the ball out in space, He’s a smooth running back that glides over the field , has very quick feet in the hole and is constantly moving forward. He isn’t afraid to mix it up and drop his shoulder and deliver a blow. His style reminds me of former FSU standout, Amp Lee.

Zamarion Smith- Wakulla
Smith is another three-down back that could potentially play receiver at the next level as well. He rushed for 473 yards And six touchdowns and also added seven receptions for 166 yards. He’s a big play back that averaged over nine yards per carry, he’s very good in the screen game, and has outstanding burst and acceleration through the hole, has terrific speed and the ability to take it to the house any time he touches the ball.

Kevin Baker- Tallahassee Rickards
5’10 190
Baker is a sleeper Prospect that has a nice compact frame, he rushed for 255 yards last season in a backup role, he has good vision and averaged over five yards per carry, also shows the ability to drop a shoulder and play physical and run through tackles. There’s not a lot of Hudl film on him, but from what I saw he has some potential.
