Continue ReadingThe running back group was very talented with some ball carriers that already hold FBS offers and some prospects that will become FBS guys as they progress through high school. Below, we will breakdown some of these backs that had strong showings.
2023 Charles Brown, Pittsburg HS
Brown is a very quick twitched and elusive runner with elite pass catching abilities and short area quickness in the open field. He was very impressive over the weekend and showed that he is one of the best backs the Bay Area has to offer. Although a bit undersized, he makes up for it with his quick feet, movement abilities and vision in tight windows. Very tough to tackle and an explosive back, Brown is set for a monster Senior season.
2024 Lamar Radcliffe Lamar Radcliffe 6'2" | 225 lbs | ATH Sacramento | 2024 State CA , Sacramento HS
Radcliffe already holds multiple FBS offers and is one of the top running backs across the entire state. He has physically transformed over the past two years and showed his athleticism and pass catching abilities out of the backfield during the event and when going against top tier competition. He is a smooth runner that can easily break lower body tackles and runs with good power, pad level and violence. He is an impressive athlete with good size and is a no brainer FBS caliber kid.
2025 Carter Jackson, Folsom HS
Jackson will be an emerging star in the region over the next three years and has some of the most impressive JV tape I have seen in a few years. He is extremely explosive through the first level and in the open field, while a natural pass catcher out of the backfield and can line up in the slot and make contested catches downfield. Passing the eye test especially for a Freshman, he is a well put together kid with home run speed and the ability to make defenders miss in tight windows while very explosive.
2025 Jamar Searcy, Liberty HS
Searcy should be a two-way starter as a Sophomore for Liberty and is a big time hitter from his strong safety position and a hard ball carrier to tackle inside and outside the tackles. Having a bulky frame and good speed for his size, he is in line to have a very successful high school career and should be another top player in the EBAL.
2023 JT Foreman, Turlock HS
Foreman has an offer from Buffalo and should collect other FCS+ interest through this off-season and his Senior season. He is one of the top rushers in the valley and a violent runner with elusiveness through traffic and the ability to bounce it outside when needed and has the speed to gain the edge. A natural pass catcher from different body angles, Foreman impressed at the event and was easily one of the top backs in attendance.
2024 Clinton Eke Jr. Valley Christian HS
Eke had a nice showing on Saturday and earned his way to the night event from the first group of running backs. He is a compact runner that gets vertical quickly and is tough to tackle in space due to his physical running style and knee drive. Playing for one of the regions top teams, he will be a top back across the Central Coast Section and is poised for a big Junior season.
2025 Caleb Hill Cosumnes Oaks HS
Hill is a physical presence when running the ball and is set to start both ways for one of the top teams in the SJS this Fall. He showed that he can catch the ball out of the backfield and create separation downfield against athletic linebackers. Going into the 2022 season, he will be a top 2025 prospect to watch across the region.
