<em>Breaking down the new RB additions to PRZ’s latest 2024 CA rankings including some talented ball-carriers out of Northern California. Look for these playmakers to produce breakout seasons in their junior seasons this fall. </em> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="273580" first="Charles" last="Williams"]- RB, Marin Catholic</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Williams was an impact player as a sophomore playing RB and return specialist on special teams. He’s a fast, athletic playmaker that shows burst through the hole and breakaway speed at the second and third levels. He can make defenders miss in space showing short-area quickness and compact feet. He’s a playmaker with reliable hands catching screens and flares out of the backfield. Williams will be one of the top 2024 RBs to watch in NorCal the next two seasons.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">[player_tooltip player_id="273580" first="Charles" last="Williams"] is making people miss.

He’s a compact runner that runs with a low center-of-gravity and great pad level. He racks up yards after contact driving his legs through contact and bouncing off tackles. He’s extremely elusive in space and sh0ws good downhill speed. Coleman has started generating interest from D-I schools like San Jose St. and should continue to attract attention in the coming seasons.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Check out my highlight - <a href="https://t.co/f54gILNAW3">https://t.co/f54gILNAW3</a> Sophomore/Varsity Season 4 games 65 carries, 899 rushing yards, 16 rushing touchdowns 1 pick 6, 1 punt return TD</p> — [player_tooltip player_id="273574" first="Dion" last="Coleman"] (@d1oncoleman) <a href="https://twitter.com/d1oncoleman/status/1444454022048403457?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 3, 2021</a></blockquote> <a href="http://blockquote%20class=twitter-tweetp%20lang=en%20dir=ltrCheck%20out%20my%20highlight%20-%20a%20href=https://t.co/f54gILNAW3https://t.co/f54gILNAW3/a%20Sophomore/Varsity%20Season%204%20games%2065%20carries,%20899%20rushing%20yards,%2016%20rushing%20touchdowns%201%20pick%206,%201%20punt%20return%20TD/p—%20Dion%20Coleman%20(@d1oncoleman)%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/d1oncoleman/status/1444454022048403457?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwOctober%203,%202021/a/blockquote%20script%20async%20src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js%20charset=utf-8/script"><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></a> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="273598" first="Michael" last="Cherry"]- RB, Rosemont</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Cherry is an emerging 2024 playmaker with promising athleticism and versatility playing RB, slot WR, and DB. He shows vision finding lanes at the LOS as a RB with speed and acceleration to explode through the hole. He possesses a solid WR skillset with plus ball-skills and hands operating out of the slot. Cherry will be an exciting player to watch grow and develop at multiple positions over the coming seasons.</span> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15324182/Michael-a-Cherry">Hudl Profile</a> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="273582" first="Demetri" last="Curiel"]- RB, Barstow</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Curiel’s physicality and athleticism present high-upside at the next level. He’s a physical player on both sides of the ball</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">at wing-T RB and LB</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> and plays with advanced football instincts. On offense, he’s a fast, athletic ball-carrier that’s explosive at the first level. He drives his legs through tackles and is a difficult player to wrap in space. Curiel picked up his first D-I offer from Arkansas St. in November and should continue to generate D-I interest. </span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Blessed to have received my first division 1 offer from Arkansas State !!</p> THANK YOU COACH !<a href="https://twitter.com/CoachShalala?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachShalala</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/AStateFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AStateFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachTroop3?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachTroop3</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/LaVarArrington?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@LaVarArrington</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GregBiggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GregBiggins</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamgorney</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrandonHuffman</a> <a href="https://t.co/J5N1URzijj">pic.twitter.com/J5N1URzijj</a> — [player_tooltip player_id="273582" first="Demetri" last="Curiel"] (@Sharkquotes1) <a href="https://twitter.com/Sharkquotes1/status/1463936187471568897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 25, 2021</a></blockquote> <a href="http://blockquote%20class=twitter-tweetp%20lang=en%20dir=ltrBlessed%20to%20have%20received%20my%20first%20division%201%20offer%20from%20Arkansas%20State%20!!brbrTHANK%20YOU%20COACH%20!a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachShalala?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachShalala/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/AStateFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@AStateFB/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachTroop3?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachTroop3/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/LaVarArrington?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@LaVarArrington/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/GregBiggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@GregBiggins/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@adamgorney/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@BrandonHuffman/a%20a%20href=https://t.co/J5N1URzijjpic.twitter.com/J5N1URzijj/a/p—%20Demetri%20Curiel%20(@Sharkquotes1)%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/Sharkquotes1/status/1463936187471568897?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwNovember%2025,%202021/a/blockquote%20script%20async%20src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js%20charset=utf-8/script"><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></a>
