Mona Shores RB Dahmir Farnum Dahmir Farnum 5'9" | 190 lbs | RB Mona Shores | 2023 State MI
Farnum is an absolute animal with a very high ceiling. He’s a great size at 5’9 190lbs, and he sports impressive athleticism + balance. I can only imagine how great Farnum will be after a hopefully great offseason under his belt! Look out for significant matchups against teams like Rockford and Manitowoc.
West Catholic RB Timmy Kloska Timmy Kloska 6'0" | 220 lbs | RB Grand Rapids West Catholic | 2023 State MI
An absolute monster, Kloska is the high school version of Derrick Henry, a comparison I do not make lightly. I’ve talked extensively about the prospect, but in general, he’s a powerful back with a D1 ceiling. Kloska will be a beast against the OK-Blue, though he’ll be able to prove himself most in the postseason, which I fully expect West Catholic to make.
Forest Hills Central RB JT Hartman JT Hartman 5'9" | 190 lbs | RB Forest Hills Central | 2024 State MI
I was very impressed by Hartman during FHC’s early-season stint against Grand Blanc. Todd Hartman is FHC’s running backs coach, which is an excellent sign for Hartman’s overall progression.
Belding RB Jack Ward
A prolific wrestler, Jack Ward is an awesome running back for one of the top teams in the OK-Silver. He’s an excellent option in the T-Wing offense, and he’s built to take punishment during a long season. He solidifies his spot as a great two-way player who is a very well-rounded athlete.
West Ottawa RB Kayden Forbes
The only class of 2025 guy on here, Kayden Forbes, is a young back with a great opportunity. You don’t see a freshman RB starting on varsity very often, and when you do, sometimes they grow into primer prospects. Forbes seems to know only one speed – full. Forbes’s power, speed, and general effort are something to be excited about heading into this Fall.
