The Floresville running back is as elite as they come. He has great balance and speed as a runner. He can run in between the tackles and make people miss in open space. He should have a special season this year and it will be interesting to see where he chooses to play in college. https://twitter.com/MurphyDareion/status/1398355792332525569?s=20 &nbsp; &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="131345" first="Damien" last="Martinez"] | 5’10" 220 lbs | RB | Lewisville | 2022 Damien has elite speed and he can go from zero to 60 in a blink of an eye. He’s got great vision as a ball carrier. , can make a few cuts and be off to the races for the endzone.

This guy’s film is a joy to watch and he puts on a show each time he’s out there on the field. He shows terrific awareness as a ball carrier and can take off once he finds a hole running in between the tackles. Should be a very special player in college and one of the top backs to watch for this season.</span> &nbsp; &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="131364" first="Makhilyn" last="Young"] | 5’10" 180 lbs | RB | Midlann | 2022 Makhilyn is a dangerous runner out of the backfield.

He looks like he can plow over people s but he’s athletic and lean: he can receive out of the backfield just sad well as he can make big plays happen. Plays for one of Texas powerhouses in Duncanville and should be very special this coming season for them. https://twitter.com/malachimedlock5/status/1403150672199966722?s=20 &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="131348" first="Josh" last="fahrner"] | 5’11" 180 lbs | RB | Steele | 2022 Josh has got great lateral speed and the ability to make people miss in the open field and has great balance.

He is the type you can put into a spread type of offense and let him catch out of the backfield, line up at receiver, or have him run out of the backfield. Very versatile as a player and a great athlete with dangerous speed and agility. I liked his hands the most and his ability to make people <span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">miss in the open field.</span> https://twitter.com/HenleyJr2022/status/1347018984747655174?s=20 &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="131347" first="Jayshon" last="Powers"] | 6’0" 195 lbs | RB Garland | 2022 Thus could be a breakout running back everyone hears about next season.
