Continue ReadingMaking our list today for some analysis are some backs that deserve a spotlight.

Elijah Davis Elijah Davis 5'10" | 210 lbs | RB Riverside Academy | 2023 State LA (23) | 5’9″ 165 | RB | Riverside Academy
Elijah is ranked as our NO.6 ranked running back and for good reason. The versatile back on the field can make plays happen. He shows good top-end speed and good vision as a ball carrier. I love his change of directional speed. Should be one who could really races his stock next season.

Keven Williams Keven Williams 5'9" | 170 lbs | RB Acadiana | 2023 State LA | 5’9″ 170 lbs | RB | Acadiana | 2023
Well, the first thing that will blow you away about Keven is his dangerous speed and agility out of the backfield. Once he sees a hole opens up, he can make one or two moves and be off to the races. Also very versatile as well being a good receiving back out of the backfield. Size and build are a little below average, however, I could see him adding more mass to his frame at the next level. He can break arm tackles and run in the middle of the line.

Patrick Martin Patrick Martin 5'11" | 200 lbs | RB De La Salle | 2023 State LA | 5’11″ 200 lbs | RB | De La Salle | 2023
I like Martin as a runner. He shows he can be patient, wait for a hole to develop, or bounce a run out to the sideline. His speed won’t drop your jaw, but it is good. He shows good lateral speed and flexibility. He can bounce runs out to the sideline that look like they will be blown up in the backfield. Should be an interesting prospect to watch next season and definitely a next-level prospect.

COVANTA MILLIGAN | 6’0″ 190 lbs | RB | Scotlandville | 2023
Covanta has good size and ability. This is a very raw and talented running back, who shows some decent speed and ability to make people miss. I think with some more film on file for him next year I think he could be one of those guys that you probably going to hear more of in the future.
