NextGen Orlando – 2026 & 2027 Running Back Standouts

The NextGen camp series kicked off its 2022 tour this past weekend in Orlando, Fla. at Celebration High School. NextGen Camps evaluate more than 5,000 athletes each year. In its seven-year history athletes have received nearly 8,000 Division 1 scholarship offers. NextGen All-America Showcase camps have quickly become one of the nation’s most respected Middle School and High School Underclassmen Showcase Camps. Here is a look at the Running Backs in the classes of 2026 and 2027 that stood out to us. <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-266554 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/EddrickMompremier-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Eddrick Mompremier | Florida | 2026</strong> Natural running back who can move well. Quick cuts and nice hands while performing positional drills. Went against older competitiom at times and excelled. Coachable and looks like he'd certainly dominate with pads on. Fast for his age and can separate in open field. &nbsp; <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-266555 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/ElijaMason-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />[player_tooltip player_id="241226" first="Elija" last="Mason"] | Florida | 2026</strong> Ideal running back talent for this age group. Great potential with quick twitch muscles. Made people miss in one-on-one tackling, and showcased good hands when running routes on air. Outran defenders many times on the wheel route. Quick 5-10-5 without any technique. &nbsp; <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-266558 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/JarionSharp-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Jarion Sharp | Florida | 2026</strong> Fast, stocky running back who can shake defenders in close proximity. Adequate hands and can gain separation pretty easily. Could be a top talent with proper development. Dominated one-on-one opportunities and showcased quick twitch abilities against older athletes. &nbsp; <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-266559 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/BaronHoward-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Baron Howard | Florida | 2026</strong> Running back/defensive lineman combo. Has a little extra weight right now, but that should develop into muscle. Physical with quick feet. Isn’t really a burner at this point, but with time will develop. Showcased great burst and efficient route running ability. Seems like a lot to handle in pads. &nbsp; <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-254208 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/Silhouette-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Kyree Wilson | Florida | 2027</strong> The only 7th grader to earn a nod as a top performer, Wilson is a slippery athlete who looks like he can play a number of different positions. Good ball skills for a young athlete. Doesn’t have the size as of now, but that should come. Made guys miss with ease during one-on-one’s.
