Maryland Class of 2022 Running Backs: Stock Risers

Prep Redzone looks at the Class of 2022 running backs in Maryland whose stock has risen so far this season. These players have done enough so far to get our attention. Most high school football teams did not play last fall nor this past spring, so they’re a little under-the-radar for now. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="208256" first="Chris" last="Butler"] | Milford Mill Academy | 5-8 | 155</strong> Butler has carried the football 49 times for 467 yards (8.5 yards per carry) and nine touchdowns in four games this season. He has rushed for 140-plus yards in his last three games. I think Butler is at his best when he’s allowed to take a straight handoff get north south as soon as possible. That’s where you’re able to see him speed up the fastest. Butler does a good job of taking inside runs that look like the play may go for a loss and turning them into gains by cutting it outside. Current Ranking: N/A <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11272188/613c20b22aa6a9066858c423"><strong>HUDL- Week 2 highlights</strong></a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="90608" first="Elijah" last="Solomon"] | Archbishop Carroll | 5-9 | 175</strong> Jordan-Solomon has carried the football 29 times for 290 yards (10.0 yards per carry) and five touchdowns in the three games that we have statistics. Current Ranking: N/A <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="208292" first="Jamare" last="Glasker"] | Potomac | 6-0 | 180</strong> Current Ranking: N/A Glasker has carried the football 23 times for 342 yards (14.9 yards per carry) and six touchdowns in the three games he’s played in this season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="90612" first="Kelvin" last="Mendez"] | Harford Tech</strong> Current Ranking: N/A In the two games we have stats for, Mendez has carried the football 56 times for 462 yards and six touchdowns. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="208293" first="Khalil" last="Graves"] | Eleanor Roosevelt | 5-9 | 175</strong> Current Ranking: N/A Graves has rushed for 353 yards and three touchdowns on 44 carries (8.0 yards per carry) in four games this season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="208294" first="Peyton" last="Clark"] | Frankfort | 5-9 | 185</strong> Current Ranking: N/A Clark has carried the football 59 times for 438 yards (7.4 yards per carry) and five touchdowns during the first five games of his senior season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="208295" first="Randy" last="Hughes"] | Kenwood | 6-3 | 225</strong> Hughes has carried the football 26 times for 372 yards and three touchdowns in his first four games. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="208255" first="Terrez" last="Worthy"] | Parkside 5-10 | 190</strong> Worthy may be one of the best-kept secrets in the state of Maryland right now. He has carried the football 52 times for 627 yards (12.1 yards per carry) and eight touchdowns in three games this season. He has run for 466 yards and six touchdowns in his last two games. I am very impressed with how fast Worthy hits the hole and is always getting north south as quickly as possible.  He also does a great job of setting defenders up by waiting until he’s up on them before cutting to the left or to the right with no wasted movements. Worthy has been an effective on kickoff returns this year too. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13741073/614c6817f31cc70b5886ef43">HUDL - Mid-season highlights</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="208297" first="Troy" last="Dukes"] | Kenwood | 6-0 | 165</strong> Dukes has carried the football 53 times for 464 yards (8.8 yards per carry) and five touchdowns in four games this season.
